    It's free and doesn't need booking either. You may spend 2 -3 hours in this museum if you read through all the materials with an average speed of 150 words per min. It does give vibes from different centuries. Nice time to spend here. There's a big cafe and bar "kitchen" just in front of the museum,worth trying.

    A beautiful museum with so much to see. For example it shows you how people used to live in them day's and as you walk through the different rooms it becomes more modern. It also has, toilets, a souvenir shop,a restaurant to eat and a garden that tells you about the different flower's. It is well worth the visit and free to get in.

    Great museum all things home. There's plenty to see, wonderful exhibition, building, shop, cafe and even walled garden. Kids and family friendly. A must see for all home aficionados.

    Lots of things to see, well laid out, interesting mix of old and new. All free. Literally next door to Hoxton station. You can see the beautiful garden on your way down from the station. Lots of interesting pieces from photos to entire room layouts. I particularly enjoyed the photos of multiple living rooms and how people have decorated their homes. The Chinese/ vietnamese kitchen is a blast from the past. The level of detail is great - for example the copious amount of elastic bands in an Asian kitchen. I don’t know why, but it’s true. Loved it.
