St. Mungo's Hosptial

Reference Forum

Mongo Bonham 1560-1659 was a healer who founded St. Mungo's Hospital in the late 1500's or early 1600's. The hospital is located in London. . Mungo’s Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries is reached via Purge and Dowse, Ltd. in Muggle London. Purge and Dowse, Ltd. is an red-brick, old-fashioned department store that has “Closed for Refurbishment” signs hanging on its doors. One speaks to the ugly dummy in the front window, who will nod its assent and beckon you to enter.

The emblem for the hosptial is a wand and a bone.

Staff wear lime-green robes.

St. Mungo's has six floors.
