The Oldest Operating Theatre In Britain in the unique setting of the timber framed Herb Garret German Guide Spanish Guide

 

 

The Old Operating Theatre Museum is one of the most unusual museums in London. The Operating Theatre is the oldest in Europe, and the Herb Garret is a unique chance to explore the Roof space of a Church. The Theatre and Garret have recently been restored with its original Georgian plaster free of support frames for the first time since the late 1990's!
