As one of the most famous women in British history it is not surprising that Florence Nightingale should have a museum dedicated to her memory. The Florence Nightingale Museum celebrates the woman who almost single-handedly created the modern nursing profession in Britain following her experiences during the Crimean War.

She is famous for answering a call from God and helping hundreds of soldiers during the Crimean War – even now she is referred to as the Lady of the Lamp because of her night time walks tending to sick and wounded soldiers. On her return from this bloody conflict she established the Nightingale Training School for nurses at St Thomas’ Hospital.

As a result of her groundbreaking work, her name is synonymous with caring and nursing to this day. This London attraction dedicated to her features an incredible collection of artefacts from her lifetime, including 53 books of the 200 she wrote in their original form.

This London tourist attraction houses an impressive archive of 63 letters from Florence Nightingale to various correspondents, and other related papers belonging to her. There are also research facilities available onsite, though it is advisable to ring in advance if you wish to have access to these.

Whether you’re a history lover, an academic, a London tourist, or just curious about this formidable woman, this intriguing London museum is one of the best ways learn about Florence Nightingale in London.
