The Geffrye Museum

Once you have been to all the major museums and galleries it's time to explore those off the beaten track.

The Geffrye Museum takes you through the history of English domestic interiors from 1600's to the 1990's. It's child friendly and pre-visit your child/ren might want to check out the online Kids Zone.

The first Saturday of each month one of the Almshouses is open for visits - well worth it - and the Herb Garden is open April to October.

There's a wealth of information on their website on how to get there plus activities such as workshops and study days for all ages.

At Christmas each room setting is decorated in the Christmas style of the period - I'm guessing starting with the Victorians as it was Prince Albert who brought us the Xmas Tree in the UK.

If you like Vietnamese food Kingsland Road is home to dozens of Vietnamese eateries.

This small museum specialising in the furniture and domestic interiors of the urban middle classes is not to be missed!

You can walk through various periods rooms from the 1600 to 2000.

Great way to see what London flats looked like inside historically.

Tube: Old Street (Northern Line). The museum is on Kingsland Rd and it takes about 15 mins to walk from the tube station.
