Museum of Immigration and Diversity, Immigration history museum in Spitalfields, England
The Museum of Immigration and Diversity is housed in a Grade II* listed terrace house and displays exhibits about immigrant communities that arrived and settled in London across the centuries. The building on Princelet Street uses its rooms to present these stories in depth.
The building on Princelet Street housed successive immigrant families starting from the 1700s before transforming into a museum. This conversion turned it into a place that documents the experiences of multiple generations.
The displays tell stories of people who made their home in London, using photographs and personal objects from their lives. These collections show how different communities shaped the city over time.
Visiting is possible during weekends and entry is free for everyone. Guests should know that rooms are compact and exploring requires moving through several floors.
Hidden on an upper floor is a synagogue from 1869 that still shows its original features. This discovery reveals how rooms in a single house took on new meanings for different communities.
