14. Dame Cicely Saunders House

AUDIO

 


You can self-navigate to Lawrie Park Gardens, London where Dame Cicely Saunders lived.



Dame Cicely Saunders lived in Sydenham, close-by to the hospice. She bought the house in 1969 with her partner (who later became her husband), the painter Marian Bohusz-Szyszko, and another couple. After the tour of the hospice, feel free to take a walk to see the house and get to know Dame Cicely’s commute! 

Dame Cicely’s house was in Lawrie Park Gardens should you wish to do some exploring.

PS: As you walk round the hospice, look out for Marian’s art hanging on the walls.
