Abstract

Of all London memorials commemorating historical medical personalities, none perhaps have been so frequented by neurologists as those honoring James Parkinson (1755–1824) of Hoxton square. Situated in the historical London borough of Hackney, there are two well‐known memorials to James Parkinson that can still be easily visited: The first, a large, inscribed marble memorial tablet at St Leonard's Church that Parkinson was closely affiliated with throughout life; the second, a historical blue plaque marking the site of Parkinson's birthplace and former home practice at 1 Hoxton Square. Although many contemporary neurologists would freely recall the historical significance of these locations, very few now living can detail the circumstances leading up to these memorials being erected. A new look at rediscovered primary resources provides considerable insight into the history of these monuments dedicated to James Parkinson. © 2025 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.
