This hospital, founded in 1740 and relocated to Whitechapel Road, London in 1757, is the setting for chapter XVIII. In this chapter, Dr. Dunlap Strange takes Mary and Alison here and a very strange thing happens. Mary recognizes one of the patients struggling with rapid consumption as the woman she frequently sees waiting for someone in Regent's Park. This hospital, now called the Royal London Hospital, has a rich history and is still very well-known today. Source:
