Ragged School Museum

Description

Service Description

Housed in what was once London's biggest ragged, or free, school, this family-friendly museum welcomes people of all ages to taste a slice of Victorian life. Through the reconstructed classroom, and an installation about a one-room home, you can experience how the poor lived in the East End, over a century ago.
