Discovered abandoned within the attic area of St Thomas’s church in the 1950’s, this ancient female operating theatre for St Thomas’s Hospital was used up until 1862 when it was sealed up and forgotten. Nowadays it has been restored and put to use as a medical museum displaying the unnerving and gruesome apparatus once used way back in the 1800’s. Since restoration, a number of staff have reported the sound of disembodied footsteps dashing up the wooden staircase which they believe could well belong to the spirit of Florence Nightingale.
