Somers Town Museum, located at 152 Phoenix Street, Somers Town, is housed in a beautiful Grade II-listed building. The museum is lovingly cared for by Diana and her committed team, including Katie, Diane, and others.

The museum presents a captivating blend of history and charm. It features a 1930s-style lounge with a piano, welcoming visitors to pause and play impromptu melodies. Its collection includes several recovered finials that were once lost, reclaimed through auctions made possible by generous donations.

They host vibrant events throughout the day and evening, creating a lively space where people come together and connect, making it a true community hub. Plus, their coffee is exceptional!

You could spend hours exploring photo albums, recognising familiar faces, and reading the detailed timeline that stretches from 1788 to the slum clearance of the 1930s, led by Father Basil Jellicoe. (That’s another story you’ll find in the posts here.)
