The Museum of the Home traces how Londoners have lived, furnished, decorated, and imagined domestic life since 1600. It is housed in former almshouses on Kingsland Road, close enough to Shoreditch and Hoxton to combine with a wander through the East End.
The museum is strongest when it moves from furniture into social history: changing room layouts, family habits, taste, class, and the practical business of making a home in a crowded city. It is a good London museum for travellers who have already done the big national collections.
