The Geffrye Musuem in Shoreditch, East London is named after Sir Robert Geffrye , former Lord Mayor of London. It is devoted to British furniture, textiles, paintings and decorative arts. It shows the changing style of the English domestic interior in a series of period rooms from 1600 to the present day.

The musuem is set in the Grade I listed almshouses of the Ironmongers’ Company, built in 1714 at the bequest of Geffrye. It also has a modern extension built in 1992, including a restaurant which is popular at lunchtime.
