This is one of London's most unique and charming museums. The Geffrye takes us through the history of the English domestic interior from the 17th century to the present day. A series of period rooms containing fine collections of furniture and art displays how the tastes and styles of the urban middle classes have changed over time. The museum is set in 18th-century almshouse buildings with luscious gardens, including a walled herb garden and series of period gardens. Special themed exhibitions are run throughout the year. Its really is a different and interesting day out and is also free as an added bonus.
