Worth a visit only if your in the area. Not worth traveling to.
Travelled from Ireland to visit and have to say i was surprised to the lack of content within the musuem.Left a bit dissapointed.The study room where Freuds famous couch is is worth seeing but apart from that there is only pictures around the place. The shop is well stocked and a lovely lady was serving there. Prices are what to be expected. Admission is £6 and audio guides are £2.The visit itself you could comfortably do within an hour if you wanted to.The garden was closed due to bad weather.If your into psychoanalysis well its worth the one visit.

Fascinating--a must for Psychology Students!
This little place is fun to visit because it's off the beaten path and away from more touristy places in London. Because the museum is in one of Freud's actual homes, it is in an neighborhood on a quiet street about a ten minute stroll from the Finchley Road tube station. I had mapped out the route before I left, but as it turned out the route was obviously marked by signs from the tube station.
The path from one street to the other requires you to walk up a steep slope for about a hundred yards, so if you have mobility issues you may want to hire a cab.
Freud's house is small, and each room has a nice array of exhibit items and artifacts. An hour is enough time to see everything, including the video about this life. An especially interesting aspect of this museum is the amount of information relating to Anna Freud's life.
This museum is open on Sundays from noon to five, one of the few in London, so when everything else has shut down on Sundays I'd reccomend giving it a quick visit.

Very Interesting.... very nice location in London
I went to the Freud Museum in May 2005 because my friend who is a Psychology major wanted to visit. I found it very interesting to view his personal home and belongings. It was not busy, so we could take our time to look around. There is a small gift shop, but a bit pricey. I really liked the Freudian slippers though!
There was one room that showed a video, so that was neat to see. The area the house is in is really nice, and we enjoyed a little walk after visiting. I would definitely recommend it to people who enjoy Psychology.

Freud Museum
ExhibitionRecurring event
The museum was the home of Sigmund Freud and his family when they escaped Nazi annexation of Austria in 1938. It remained the family home until Anna Freud, the youngest daughter, died in 1982. The centrepiece of the museum is Freud's library and study, preserved just as it was during his lifetime. It contains Freud's collection of antiquities: Egyptian; Greek; Roman and Oriental. Almost two thousand items fill cabinets and are ranged on every surface.

Freud's Collection of Antiquities
ExhibitionRecurring event
Freud's collection fills the study and the front room. These antiquities created an extraordinary interior work space which was even to survive the move to another country. Today's visitors to the study in London are often astonished to see that Freud worked in a museum of his own creation. The collection itself reflects the taste of someone more concerned to accumulate objects with meaning for him than to acquire items which would be impressive to a small band of fellow collectors. By 1939 Freud had amassed over 2000 objects and the collection encompassed items from the ancient Near East, Egypt, Greece, Rome and China.
