Museum of the Home

Four thousand square metres of front lawn running along Kingsland Road, with the Grade I listed almshouse terrace behind. Used for drinks parties, receptions and marquee events, and available on Mondays by day and on Thursday to Saturday evenings.

A sequence of period city gardens running from a Tudor knot garden to a modern green roof, walled and screened from the road. Let on its own for outdoor receptions, and reachable directly from the Studio and the Undercroft.

The largest indoor space, red brick under a pitched glass roof, with panoramic windows onto the Gardens Through Time. It serves as the museum reception by day and is let for dinners and receptions in the evening. Hire can include private access to the galleries or the gardens with a guide.

The largest of the three spaces on the museum's lower concourse, opened after a recent renovation. A plain, flexible room with integrated audiovisual equipment, configured for conferences, exhibitions, talks and screenings.

The mid-sized room on the lower concourse, built for smaller conferences and content-led events. Integrated audiovisual equipment and an adaptable layout.

A purpose-built room with a wooden parquet floor, high perforated ceiling and a good deal of natural light. Concertina doors partition it, and a private entrance opens onto its own terrace at the south end of the Gardens Through Time.

The smallest of the three lower-concourse spaces, fitted with a kitchenette and audiovisual equipment. Used for workshops and hands-on sessions, and as a breakout room alongside the other two.

A light modern room reached from either the museum or the gardens, with clerestory windows along one side and full-height doors onto the planting. A projector and blackout screens convert it for screenings, and a door opens onto the walled Herb Garden, which can be hired alongside it.

The original almshouse chapel at the centre of the building, with wooden pews, a pulpit and a domed ceiling above a chequerboard floor. The Reading Lounge alongside takes the reception or the dinner, and hire includes access to parts of the period galleries.

An early Georgian panelled room with a chimneypiece and a brass chandelier, paired with a connecting kitchen refitted by Plain English. Both open directly onto the museum's lawns, which can serve as a private entrance, and the kitchen can be taken on its own for a small dinner.
