The Old Operating Theatre Museum is set at the top of a church tower which was built in 1821. Despite it being 'gore-free', the Theatre Museum is just as stomach churning as the London Dungeon as this theatre dates back to the pre-anaesthetic era. Florence Nightingale commenced her nursing training here.
