Alexander Fleming Laboratory Museum

A cool place to visit and learn the origin of Penicillin and Alexander Fleming. This museum is the actual laboratory where Fleming discovered the life saving mold. Eventhough the museum does not have the original equipments of the laboratory, they created a display to give you an impression of how it would have looked when Fleming used it.
As for the exhibits, they dont have many but it is ample to fulfil your curiosity. They also have very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff who answered our questions thoroughly.

Cute museum right next to our hotel! I couldn’t believe my luck when I saw the placard from the street, saying that Fleming discovered penicillin right here. London is a great place for nerds like me.
It’s a small operation, with one room that used to be Fleming’s lab. It’s been recreated, of course, with older equipment, and surprisingly there wasn’t a mannequin of Fleming there holding a petri dish. There is also a video about how Fleming discovered penicillin, as well as an exhibit in another room about the role of penicillin in the world wars. My tour guide was great and answered all of my nerdy questions, and for something so close to Tune Hotel at Paddington, it can’t be beat!
They don’t break large bills, so show up with exact change!
