Today Anthony and Maddy look into the heartbreaking history of the Foundling Hospital, now London’s saddest museum.

Starting in the 18th century, hear the story of Thomas Coram, the hospital's founder, and the tragic circumstances that led to the establishment of this institution.

From the brutal streets of Georgian London, to the moments desperate mothers tried to admit their children; the history of the Foundling Hospital will stay with you for a long time.
