The Geffrye is one of London's most friendly and enjoyable museums, set in elegant 18th century almshouses with delightful gardens, just north of the city.
The museum presents the changing style of the English domestic interior from 1600 to 1950. The displays lead the visitor on a walk through time; from the 17th century with oak furniture and panelling, past the refined elegance of the Georgian rooms and the ornate style of the Victorian parlour, to 20th century Art Deco and post-war utility.
The museum and gardens are brought to life through drama, music, workshops, and seminars, with special holiday activities for families and children. The award-winning walled herb garden is open from April to October.
