Arts & Culture
Hidden away in the heart of fashionable, gritty Hoxton, The Geffrye Museum is a quad of elegant 18th century almshouses converted into a quirky museum of the home. Eleven historic room sets showcase how the lives of the English middle classes evolved from 1600 to the present day as fashion, trade and technology changed. If you’re visiting between April and October, leave some time for the gardens at the back to peruse perennials, herbs and the Elizabethan parterre. Admission is free.
