15th Jan 2025 – Museum of the Home – Away Day

Museum of the Home Situated in east London and originally known as the Geoffrey Museum, the museum’s main purpose is to show how our ancestors lived, worked and furnished their homes.

We’ll see the furnishings, objects and personal stories of life as experienced by Londoners past and present, and discover what awaits them in the future.

Room settings display textiles and furniture from 1630 and the Victorian era to the present day.

An extensive garden area continues the theme and takes us from a Tudor knot garden to modern roof gardens, echoing changes and innovations in society and fashion.

On arrival we’ll self-guide through the rooms, using the information provided by the museum.

When ready, we can refresh ourselves in the café next door.

Date: Wednesday, 15 January Meeting Time/Place: 10.15am, at Waterloo Station opposite platforms 1-4
