This small museum celebrating the history of interior design and the home is found within a terrace of charming 18th century almshouses. The dark stone buildings lie in the shadow of the new Hoxton Overground station; reminding Londoners of what London used to be and what it is now. Behind the museum lies a walled herb garden and a colourful and peaceful stretch of flowers and wildlife. To see the newly restored almshouse rooms check the website for special opening times; these rooms give visitors an idea of how the building would have been used before it became a museum. The permanent exhibitions are free.
