The Geffrye Museum of the Home

London rocks in so many ways.. awesome pubs and venues, funky neighbourhoods, street art... aww the list goes on. Museums however, are a huge reason of why people come to this city.. at least I know I did. The Tate Modern, the Natural History Museum come on!!

There are other museums around that sometimes due to their location, people don't even know they exist. The Museum of the Home is one of those examples. It still shocks me that people don't know where the V&A Childhood museum is.. seriously???!!

So, The Museum of the Home... wow, where to start??

The Geffrye Museum of the home is by far one of the most incredible museums in London. Situated in  Shoreditch, this 18^th century building is not only home to the Geffrye Museum, but also to a stunning garden, I mean it's super-ultra-beautiful and it surrounds the entire property. 

This museum is dedicated to teaching us about the importance of the home in Britain through the centuries. Every single room is decorated with accessories, plants, and patterns from a specific time. 

This is an excellent place to go on a day out, it is free entry and totally children friendly. 

For example, you can sit in a 1630's chair replica, touch different materials used for decoration and listen to extracts from newspapers and books of the time..

I have tried describing this place so many times, but it is one of those museums that you must check out for yourself. They have a lovely restaurant and their souvenir shop does not disappoint!

 Just do it! Guaranteed fun! xx
