Leicester Square Tube - an interesting fact!

The Jekyll and Hyde house - Ghoulish Secret!
John Hunter, well-known surgeon and fellow of the Royal Society, once had a house at 28 Leicester Square. He was famed for being an experimentalist and doing many dissections. The house had a drawbridge at the back entrance, through which Hunter received human corpses from grave robbers. It is thought that author Robert Louis Stevenson used the house as a basis for Dr Jekyll's abode in The Strange Case Of Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde.
