Museum of the Home
The Museum of the Home is over 100 years old, housed in a 300 year old almshouse building. However, the doors are now open to allow events to take place in various spaces across the venue.
With a variety of styled and sized spaces available, the Museum of the Home is versatile, flexible and benefits from a great location right next to Hoxton station, only a few minutes from the City. It’s often described as a hidden gem of London and is the definition of a unique venue. The venue can host all manner of events from receptions, dinners, meetings and presentations through to pop up shops, exhibitions, markets, film shoots and broader brand activity. Anything and everything is possible!
