Reviews of Banting House National Historic Site (Museum)

Henry Lee

We were impressed by the tour given by the curator of the museum. It was very educational, entertaining, and sentimental. He had great stories he told us about Banting and his life. His storytelling even made me tear up and caused my emotions to surface. The curator was a very kind man and he Was glad to give our small group a tour on a Monday, when the museum is supposed to be closed after we had left a message with him that we were passing through that day and wished to see the museum before we went back home to the United States. We are grateful to him and glad to know much more about the life and times of Dr. Banting, a prominent figure in Canadian history.

I went with my wife, who is a historian. It could have been boring, but the guide (Sam) was so knowledgable and really did bring the legacy of Dr Banting to life. He also have us some great insight to his life, which was unexpected but appreciated. Ecen the Queen mum has visited Banting House, so why havent you?

A genuine treasure. They reopened after a long time and do small pre-booked family tours. They take every precaution to ensure safety of the visitors. Hosts some really rare newspaper cuttings, documents and historical artfacts. Must see for every visitor to London... Truly the birthplace of Insulin

For all the money they have sunk into the place it's just as filthy as it was before and it still doesn't seem safe.

Lots of interesting facts to learn as you walk through this fully air conditioned old house. The tour guide was generally on point but sometimes not needed or wanted. Large parking lot located behind the house.

For any diabetic who uses insulin, this is a must-see stop in London, ON! It meant so much to me to visit this place as a T1D of nearly 20 years. Can't wait to go back again soon.
