I didn’t know they have tours at 2pm, definitely take a note if that’s something you’re interested in. Took me just under 2hour to see the whole place, very interesting to visit the last place Freud stayed in and learn about the importance of psychoanalysis. They have audio guide and free wifi, bring your earphones!nnI noticed this postbox was covered by stickers and these were all the museum’s entry tickets - yes they give you a sticker as a ticket for entry.
Great to see “the” couch, and to learn about the family’s legacy & contribution to modern psychology.nnFor the cost of the ticket £15 each I would have loved a bit more info on the legacy itself, and a discussion of the theories within modern psychology and takes on it today .nnWithin Freud’s study, I’d also appreciate more labelling of the different artefacts in the room, as quite a few piqued my curiosity but there was nowhere to learn more.nnThe audio guides could also do with being updated to remove the note about COVID guidance from each, and add a bit of pace too as the rooms are small and they do go on a bit!nnFinally, there’s no accessible bathroom or public toilets other than a standard family bathroom which feels a bit odd in 2024.nnWorth a visit if you’re in the area, but wouldn’t go out of my way to visit on a trip to London unless I had a specific interest in Freud.
Tucked away within Hampstead, this is where you will find the most profound relics that Freud had like his infamous psychotherapy couch. I finally got to visit this place after desperately wanting to go.nnFor £14, you get to see quite a bit from his study, the hall, Anna Freud’s study as well as his collection of Greek Mythological antiques that he loved collecting. Despite Sigmund Freud only living in this house for a year before his death whilst his daughter utilised the space more for her work and research further down the line, the museum didn’t fail to encapsulate Sigmund’s personal life and his role in creating psychoanalysis. It felt moving having studied about him in the past and admiring his work.nnThere’s also a small shop and garden that you can relax in. The stuff can get a bit pricy, but it’s still nice to browse in either way.nnIf you are familiar with Freud and his work, this is highly recommended as you feel sort of immersed into his life and work.
This was Sigmund Freud's home between 1938 and 1939 when he was a poorly man. His youngest daughter stayed here until 1982 her death, on which she allowed the place to be a museum.nnGeneral admission is £14.50 currently, with concessions such as Blue Light Card giving you £2 off.nnThis museum has some but not a plethora on information, mainly about Freud and his life, his theory on psychoanalysis, illustrated against the rooms you visit. There is a hallway, dining room, study, half-landing, landing and Anna Fred's room. Each of them have photographs and information about the room's significance. The study has Fred's original therapy couch with a replica upstairs customers and free to use and take their pictures in. Anna Fred's couch is also on display.nnThere is also an audioguide you can access via the QR code, with free WiFi. Different voices inform you about the rooms as you travel around.nnFred's theory on the id, ego and superego is described, alongside other research/case studies he did such as the Wolf Man, and dream interpretation.nOn my visit, there was also a 25 minute video on clips of Sigmund and his family narrated by Anna.nnI studied psychology as a student, therefore I already had background knowledge on Freud and psychoanalysis. I would recommend fans of Freud, or even psychology students to check this out. However, there isn't so much to see, you could probably do it all in 90 minutes of less.nnAlthough the audio guide was great, I would have preferred it using hand held devices rather than a website link you need Internet connection for it to work properly. I think the price was probably too high for what it's worth. There is only one bathroom with a bath, toilet and sink, therefore only for one person at a time.nnI probably wouldn't visit this place again. Maybe if it had been larger and more to see apart from the garden.
We visited Sigmund Freud's house in Hampstead. The staff were friendly, and seeing Freud's study, library, and famous couch in person was truly impactful. The house is two stories with no elevator.
