“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.”

“Amusing engravings in a fascinating old building, very well cared for. I enjoyed reading the stories and seeing the curved floor upstairs from years of the house being alive and inhabited with people”
