The Geffrye Museum is housed in a Grade 1 listed 18th-century almshouse and displays English urban domestic interiors from 1600 to the present day. A chronological sequence of period rooms, with period furniture and paintings, explores the quintessential style of living rooms and home life over four centuries, from the 17th century with its oak furniture and panelling, to the refined Georgian period and high Victorian style, to 20th-century modernity in a 1930s flat, mid-century contemporary style and late-20th-century living in a converted warehouse. The grounds include an award-winning walled herb garden.
