Where did Thomas Henry Huxley train in medicine and anatomy?

Thomas Henry Huxley received his medical and anatomical training through a series of apprenticeships and formal hospital studies in London.

Around 1838, he began an apprenticeship with his brother-in-law, John Charles Cooke, and later worked under a London dockside practitioner in 1841. He also attended Sydenham College, a backstreet anatomy school off Gower Street, where he earned a botany prize in 1842.1

Huxley subsequently attended Charing Cross Hospital on a free scholarship from 1842 to 1845. During his time there, he excelled in his studies, winning medals in physiology and organic chemistry, and demonstrated his skill in microscopy by discovering a new membrane in the human hair sheath, which is now known as Huxley’s layer.1
