The Geffrye presents the changing style of the English domestic interior from 1600 to the present day through a series of period rooms. The displays lead the visitor on a walk through time, from the 17th Century with oak furniture and panelling, past the refined splendour of the Georgian period and the high style of the Victorians, to 20th Century modernity. The museum’s displays are complemented by a walled herb garden and a series of period gardens.
