Feel as in a past Century

When you step into Dennis Sever’s House, you’re immediately transported to another era.

There isn’t electricity, only candlelight.

This is the place where you can observe how a family in the 18th and 19th century lived.

It seems like they’re still there, but just left the room before you came in: their tea isn’t finished yet; their bed hasn’t been made as if they’ve just woken up; and if you listen carefully, you can still hear them…

A unique experience that, even though may not be completely historically accurate, gives you an idea of what life in 18th century Spitalfields was like.
