This is London calling

So we aren't just being paid to drive around and sightsee; we are learning where all the many hospitals are and when they don't have an A&E, we find the museum and learn some history :p. The Royal Hospital of St Bartholomew was founded in 1123 by Rahere (partying monk who had an epiphany) and is not only the oldest hospital in Europe but still occupies the original site! It has survived the Great Fire of London (ended literally across the road), the blitz and countless monarchs - in fact this is the only remaining statue of Henry VIII in London.
