About

A local history museum in the London Borough of Hackney that covers various aspects of the area's history, including the history of immigration.

Free entry covering local history and immigration stories. Best for children aged 8+ with curiosity about Hackney's diverse communities and social history. Not a major draw by itself. Worth a quick visit if you're in Hackney Central, but not a standalone trip attraction.
