Emma Free hidden history at Islington Museum
Looking for something free to do in London? Then a visit to Islington Museum is just what you are looking for.
Islington Museum offers visitors a glimpse into the history of the London borough of Islington. Hidden away yet only minutes from Angel, Farringdon and Smithfield.
Here you will find a well-organized display of the various aspects of local life, from immigration to Holloway Prison to Islington as a spa destination!
For an area with so much history, the museum is small, however for a introduction to Islington, and the chance to see a bust of Lenin, this is a worthwhile visit.
