I visited after I heard that scenes from The Madness of George III were shot there. Fascinating place.

I loved visiting that place when I was in London

I hate to imagine what transpired in that room. I know it brought us to modern medicine. But getting here was tough

Visited the one in Bologna a few years ago - fascinating place but not where I'd want surgery!
