Geffrye Museum

As the train pulled into Hoxton on a recent visit to London we noticed a big period building with people walking through and so by the power of Google Maps I had a look and saw it was a museum.  The museum goes by the name of Geffrye and as it says on the website it depicts the quintessential style of English middle-class living rooms.  

As I've said before I'm not really into museums I get very bored easily, what keeps me going is the architecture to admire.  As I'm a big fan of home interiors, this museum totally did it for me as it was basically a building full of rooms set up as they would have been over different periods through the last 100 years.  

If anyone is in the area over the summer I'm sure it's even better than when we went as the garden will be open and the tea room is a huge sun trap.

Somewhere grand to dry off...

It rained and it poured on New Years day in London.  We were so lucky to be able to walk around Columbia Road flower market before the heavens opened.  We're big fans of just wandering around London so the rain did throw us a bit.  After having a bit of a sulk in a coffee shop we got the tube to the Natural History Museum.  

I may make a few enemies by saying this but I'm just not into museums.  I get really bored and sleepy walking around them.  I'm all about the pretty and ignorant about the history of anything...

I have however always loved the grandeur of the Natural History Museum and can quite happily walk around and enjoy the architecture while the people I'm with look around the exhibits.

I'd like to go back on a really sunny day, I'm a big fan of natural light I bet it looks stunning!
