I entered this world successfully thanks to Start Bart’s Hospital back in the mid 50s. I have often returned to the exciting Smithfield area, my father working in the market for many years. I have enjoyed the church and most of the pubs but never returned to the hospital. I look forward to doing so soon enthused by your wonderful article, thank you.

I was so very fortunate to be a patient in this fantastic hospital. My Surgeon suggested that I go in the Great Hall and have a look at the paintings which are magnificent. Upstairs there is also a list of the many benefactors to St. Bartholomew’s from the beginnings of the hospital.

Christ at the Pool of Bethesda is so symbolic of the way that you are treated at the hospital and the love and care that you receive there.

The sardonic writing style of the critic is every bit as entertaining as the artistry.

Excellent critique. Can anyone visit St Batholomew’s? I’d love to have a peek.
