What to expect
The Foundling Museum
The Foundling Museum in Brunswick Square, London recounts activities at the Foundling Hospital, Britain's first home for kids in danger of abandonment. The gallery houses the broadly significant Foundling Hospital Collection and the Gerald Coke Handel Collection, a globally significant collection of material relating to the composer George Frideric Handel and his peers. This small museum evokes the tragic tales of mothers and children cared for by the hospital.
The Queen Square Park and Garden
We will walk round this small green oasis which has been seen the greatest concentration of hospitals of anywhere in England devoted to children, homeopathy, Italians and those with neurological conditions.
Thomas Coram statue
Captain Thomas Coram was a donor who started the London Foundling Hospital in Lamb's Conduit Fields, Bloomsbury, to care for abandoned youngsters. It's believed to be the world's first incorporated charity.
Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Room
The Elizabeth Garrett Anderson and Obstetric Hospital and its previous institutions gave health care to ladies in London from the mid-Victorian period. It was named after Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, one of the first women in ENgland to qualify as a doctor, and who established the New Hospital for Women on this site.
