Royal Arsenal Medical Centre

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most clinics were quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to Royal Arsenal Medical Centre with an unusual package. The receptionist took one look and said, ‘We don’t usually get deliveries here.’ Inside was a giant jar of jam labeled ‘Experimental Topical Treatment for Common Cold Sores’. The delivery driver shrugged, saying it came from a neighbor’s kitchen. Everyone laughed, and the receptionist joked, ‘Next time bring us cookies!’

2. At dusk, an elderly gentleman walked into the waiting room, carrying a large cardboard box under his arm. No one noticed him until he casually asked the receptionist for directions to the ‘Royal Arsenal Medical Centre’s’ storage area. The receptionist blinked and pointed down a dimly lit corridor. The old man nodded gratefully and disappeared around the corner. An hour later, everyone in the clinic heard a faint voice echoing from the storeroom: 'Excuse me, miss? Do you know where I left my wheelbarrow?'

3. At midnight, when only moonlight lit the streets, a curious neighbor knocked on the clinic's door and asked, ‘Do you really treat patients with unicorn tears?’ The night nurse yawned and smiled, replying, 'Well, not exactly unicorn tears, but we do have some very unusual cases!' The neighbor laughed and said, 'I'll take your word for it.' And so, the Royal Arsenal Medical Centre continued its mysterious yet effective work deep into the night.

4. At nightfall, as patients settled in for their evening wait, an old man approached the reception desk and asked, ‘Excuse me, where can I find the Royal Arsenal’s secret herbal remedy?’ The receptionist smiled mysteriously and whispered, 'Follow that pigeon cooing outside.' The old man did, only to discover a young delivery driver feeding herbs to the birds. 'Ah,' he said with a twinkle, 'the secret is out!'
