One of London's oldest and best teaching Hospitals.
Historically famous because Dr. Frederick Treves worked here. Treves discovered Joseph Merrick (The Elephant man) being displayed for money in a store across the road from the hospital and gave him care and following a public campaign residence in the hospital.
His skeleton still resides here (Joseph Merrick's, not Frederick Treves').
Curently the Royal London Hospital has a big helicopter pad and has been made more famous in the BBC documentary "Trauma".
