Concierge.com's insider take:
Skip the dreary Design Museum at Shad Thames on the river and head farther east to the row of 18th-century almshouses that contain what its fans believe to be the best museum of everyday life anywhere. In a series of English domestic interiors from 1600 to the present—a trendy loft apartment!—the museum showcases ordinary middle-class life, albeit in slightly Martha-ized versions. The rooms extend into a contemporary wing and then continue outside in a sequence of period gardens. It is, in short, the perfect day out for real-estate addicts and shelter-mag subscribers, especially since the place is located in the midst of East End hipness—Spitalfields and Shoreditch (plus, the Columbia Road Flower Market is nearby on Sundays).
Tues–Sat 10–5, Sun noon–5; free admission.
