Freud Museum London, Freud Museum

I went to this museum with my best friend. If you are interested in counselling, this is the place for you. The staff were very friendly and were happy to answer any questions. The house was beautiful, and there were a lot of photos 📸 and loads of information to read 📚 There was a QR code to scan, which then tells you lots of interesting information about the room that you are in. There were videos playing that tell you about their lives, which was very good. There is a little shop where you can pick up a little something. Just to let you know that it was quite difficult to find. We had to ask several people where it was, and only 2 ladies in a shop pointed us in the right direction. We went there by train.

Visiting the Freud Museum in London was a fascinating and unexpectedly personal experience. Set in Freud’s final home, it feels more like stepping into someone’s life than a typical museum visit. The study is the centerpiece, and seeing Freud’s famous couch in person, along with his collection of antiquities, really brings his work to life. It’s a rare chance to connect his theories to the environment he worked in. The museum does a great job of blending history with insights into Freud’s ideas, so whether you’re a psychoanalysis buff or just curious, there’s something to enjoy. The audio guide adds depth, especially when learning about Freud’s escape from Nazi-occupied Austria and his adjustment to London life. I also loved the section about his daughter Anna and her contributions to child psychology—it was inspiring and well-presented. The garden is a lovely surprise, offering a quiet spot to reflect after the visit. It’s not a huge museum, so it doesn’t take long to explore, but the atmosphere makes it memorable. The gift shop has a thoughtful selection of books and keepsakes, too. Overall, it’s a must-visit for anyone interested in Freud or just looking for a unique slice of history.
