Grade I listed 19th Century almshouses, surrounded by tranquil gardens in Hoxton, minutes north of the City. The Geffrye Museum explores home and home life from 1600 to the present day through a series of evocative period London living rooms and gardens. The museum's green and peaceful setting and central location make it an ideal venue for receptions, cocktail parties, press launches, photo shoots and meetings.

The Garden Atrium is a wonderful versatile space for evening receptions and events. Full of character and charm thanks to exposed brick walls and high glass ceilings, the recent addition to the Museum of the Home venue spaces, is available from 6pm-11pm to host up to 150 guests for a standing reception or 100 seated.
By day, the Atrium houses the Museum reception, welcoming guests between 10am-5pm. But by night, this could be your venue for a corporate drinks reception, social party or celebration for your friends and associates. Called the Garden Atrium, as it offers direct access to the Kingsland Lawns as well as offering views over the planted Gardens Through Time, your guests will be amazed by being surrounded by gorgeous green spaces in central London.
Should you wish to learn more about the Museum, exclusive out of hours tours could be arranged during your event (ask for details).

    An excellent museum focusing on the history of the domestic space with an understandably U.K./Hackney/East London emphasis. Very thoughtful insights into the demographics of these communities over the years. Of course contains I important social commentary. Good lighting, tactile/interactive displays/exhibits and helpful/friendly staff. Several wings (although it looks like I may have missed one) , a herb garden and a “gardens through the centuries” type exhibit and a gift shop. Cafe is still in the grounds but in a separate building.

    This is a lovely museum! You can see the change of house interior throughout the time. There was a special photograph exhibition by David Hoffman, telling the story of how squatters used to live and face gentrification of White Chapel.

    Fascinating and immersive museum showcasing the history of the home, situated within a former almshouse building. Exhibits range from personal stories of London residents, displays of household objects, and my personal favourite "Rooms Through Time", authentic recreations of rooms from different periods of history. Well kept gardens add an outdoor element to the experience, demonstrating varying gardening styles from different eras. Written displays are clearly presented and easy to read, and interactive displays are provided, ideal for a family visit. Expect to spend a good couple of hours to see everything. The museum is free to visit, with comprehensive facilities including an on-site café, gift shop and toilets. Donations are welcomed to help with upkeep. The exhibits are fully wheelchair accessible.

    Wonderful & relatively small museum showcasing not only dioramas of houses throughout different eras, but more generally the living conditions of the people along with their human-interest stories. The scenes and objects in each room are so detailed and vivid that I can almost see how the people inside used to go about their day. I even find some of them sentimental.
