Life in London
Sir Fleming left Scotland when he was 13 years old. He went to London and began to live with his brother Thomas who was a physician. He started working as a clerk in a shipping office, but in time he found it quite unexciting.

Sir Fleming’s uncle left a small amount of money for him which helped him considerably to fund his expense to study in a medical school. He joined St Mary’s Medical School to be doctor following his brother’s footsteps.
