About
The Museum of the Home invites visitors to step back into London’s domestic past and explore authentic interiors from the 17th to the 21st century. The beautifully restored Almshouse building houses a collection of domestic furnishings, artwork, and artefacts that reveal how everyday life has evolved over four centuries, while the Gardens Through Time illustrate the changing relationship between people and their surroundings. Visitors can wander through carefully staged rooms, scent their surroundings, and touch interactive displays that bring history to life. With free admission and step‑free access, it offers an inviting experience for families, history lovers, and design enthusiasts alike.
