Presided over by a giant, awe-inspiring, panoramic-viewing concrete monstrosity that soars into the London skies (codename: Guy's Tower), the Guy's Hospital site is a beauty to behold.

Over the last few years it has evolved from being the secret, if slightly run-down, den for a few hundred medics and dentists to become a state-of-the-art campus for all medics, dentists, physiotherapists and biomedical scientists - and it's all the better for it.

There are four key bits to Guy's:

the Hospital (all the stuff on your left when you leave London Bridge station);

New Hunt's House (big beige space-age glass house in the middle, with libraries and lecture theatres and such);

the old Victorian buildings, Hodgkin, Henriette Raphael, and Shepherds House accommodate the sinister Registry activity, the Gordon Museum, the old library, dissection rooms and the clinical skills centre;

and of course there's Boland House, which is where you rightfully belong.

Indeed, the wonders of Boland House are almost breathtaking. As you enter from the consultants' car park in the main quadrangle you can turn left into the only on-campus McDonalds in the country (a big whopper with cheese every day), but turning right gives you the opportunity, nay, honour, of swiping into the union building with the swanky new ID card that makes you look like your ugly cousin for maximum humiliation wherever you go.

On the ground floor is the area named The Spit (a.k.a. the Student Centre), which was a restaurant/canteen/eatery place until recently. In actual fact this was once a tuberculosis ward in the early days of Guy's Hospital- the hospital for the incurables.

The Spit has long since been mopped off the floor, you'd be glad to know, so what does The Spit refer to? It's now been totally redeveloped to provide you with a brand new shop and coffee lounge. The shockingly well-stocked shop, Guy's Supplies, sells chocolate, pens, white coats, stethoscopes, cards and an elegant range of themed merchandise for you to sport around town. It is in this esteemed establishment that MEDSOC and KCLSU event tickets will usually be on sale, as well as tickets for crazy nights in Inverse etc.
