 Making medical history |
Praed Street St Mary's Hospital London, London W2 1NY United Kingdom +44 20 7886 6528 http://www.medicalmuseums.org/... |
In 1928 a young Scot named Alexander Fleming made a chance discovery which was to prove one of the most significant medical advances of the last century. This little museum in the archives of St Mary's Hospital sits on the actual site of the laboratory where Fleming made his discovery of penicillin. It features an exhibition, a reconstruction of his working environment and a video which narrates the extraordinary story. Amazingly, the scientific community ignored Fleming's work for more than a decade before a group of chemists in Oxford came up with a way of purifying penicillin. Fleming's perseverance eventually earned him a Nobel prize, and the rest, as they say, is history. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Hotel health complex |
222 Marylebone Road The Landmark London London, London NW1 6JQ United Kingdom +44 20 7631 8010 / +44 20 7631 8000 (hotel) http://www.landmarklondon.co.u... |
The Landmark London's Health Club and Spa is open through the year. The gym is tiny and the club itself is a narrow maze of corridors. It has a small pool, which is mainly for leisure swimming, but lane swimming does take place at designated times. While it does not compare to some of the upmarket chain gyms, you are unlikely to find many other health clubs that offer complimentary fresh fruit and serve a light breakfast until 9a every day. The club also has single sex sauna, steam and therapy rooms. Six therapists are on hand to soothe your body with treatments such as Reiki, aromatherapy and Shiatsu. Review © 2007, Wcities |
