A charming and welcoming museum, hidden near Walthamstow central, covering 2 floors of an old building, it's a time capsule back to the early 1900s. You can see how local people lived; interestingly, you can compare it to how we Live Today. The accompanying gardens are lovely and very peaceful. Sitting in a particular corner of the garden you will find tranquilly. The staff are accommodating, and if you read the stories accompanying each item in the museum, it's a fascinating contrast of how people who lived in Walthamstow lived throughout the ages. I especially liked the pirate radio section of the museum showing how the local community used music to bring people together. There's also a DJ set up which allows you to hear the music and have the opportunity to listen to hip-hop tunes of the 80s that played in the local dance clubs—overall a wonderful place to visit with or without your kids.
Lovely cafe among the flowers with museum to visit for free. Had a wander around and had all about transport including the first combustion engine car on show.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
Visited the Lee Amos exhibition and particularly liked the portraits. Access for a wheelchair is awkward but doable on the ground floor. You need a P.A. or a pal to help negotiate heavy doors, tight corners. Had coffee and croissant in the garden at Darlings. Very nice experience - good coffee, top notch pastries and staff very friendly. The spring garden looked lovely. A very nice start to the weekend.
This has to be my most favourite place when visiting my family in Walthamstow. Such a cared for corner of E17. Thank you to the lovely gardener who tends the garden. To the people who rustle you up a smashing cuppa,lunch or snack and to the considerate museum folk who offer kind welcome even to a cheeky two year old grandchild. I love this place.
Mini free museum of a typical London work/social house for those who "worked for a stay".
A restored small workhouse that is now a museum displaying a collection of artefacts from the Victorian era to 20th Century in Walthamstow. There are a lot of interesting history displayed in each room about the house, such as the workers living in the house who tended the garden and grew crops of 20 different strain of seeds. My favourite parts of the museum were the victorian living room and prison cell that were designed to immerse the visitor back in time. It’s great for kids as there’s activities for them in each room to get them exploring the displays in the room. The museum is free to the public and has a lot of different events throughout the year. The garden is so beautiful to visit and view the large historic building from the outside. What’s awesome is the free postcards that you can take home; there’s a range to choose from that are all scenic photographs of Walthamstow.
Its cute and definitely learnt a lot about walthamstow, love the old car. Its nice that it's s free but could definitely be better. I heard the cafe is nice but was closed when i wentVisited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Wonderful little museum depicting the harsh life of times gone by. The true face of the empire, the appalling workhouses that kept the destitute like slaves. Workers there used to earn £1-2 daily in today's currency, for really harsh work. I guess people living in Regent Street and Grosvenor Square always needed their slaves.
Excellent little local museum with lots of interesting local history and the Frederick Bremer car first ICE car made in UK. Nice gardens and cafe too.
Great Manager and staff. Got more going on than you would expect for such a small venue. Get there for the Exhibition that's on now and support the place by enjoying the Cafes offerings.
