“Very enjoyable visit to a peaceful place with helpful staff and a very well documented presentation of the owner's drawing and history”

“A really splendid small museum and garden. Well worth a visit. Even on a rainy December afternoon it was well worth it; in the spring or summer the garden would be lovely. Quite a modest house but packed full of things to see, chiefly of course Hogarth’s works as well as various household items including some Jingdezhen porcelain.”

“I came as part of a study I am doing on the nature of the difference between the country and city as portrayed in English literature. The museum gave me a superb understanding of what the streets of London were like in the 18th century. The woodcuts are beautiful and the plack's give great information. Would highly recommend for those interested in history and art.”
