Geffrye Museum

The Museum of the Home is located in the Geffrye Almshouses on Kingsland Road in the Hoxton area of Shoreditch, London. The Museum was formerly the Geffrye Museum of the Home . It explores home and home life from 1600 to the present day with a series of period room displays. It is housed in 18th-century Grade I-listed almshouses formerly belonging to the Ironmongers' Company which were built in 1714 thanks to a bequest by Sir Robert Geffrye, a former Lord Mayor of London and Master of the Ironmongers' Company.
