The Geffrye Museum is set in elegant Grade 1 listed, 18th Century almshouses with delightful gardens. The Geffrye is the only museum in the United Kingdom to show a specialist collection of English furniture and decorative arts in a chronological series of period rooms. The rooms reflect the changing social habits and values which have influenced the style of interiors over the past 400 years. The visitor is able to walk through time, from the 17th century with oak furniture and panelling, past the refined splendour of the Georgian period and the high style of the Victorians, to 20th-century modernity, seen in a 1930's flat, a mid century room in 'contemporary' style plus a late 20th Century living space in a converted warehouse.
