Freud Museum

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.

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.
