14 Henrietta Street
A guided social-history museum in a single Georgian house that traces its decline from grand mansion to overcrowded tenement.
The call
Worth it if you are watching the budget and you only have one day.
Why
- 01
An unusually powerful, intimate guided tour through one house's 250-year fall from aristocratic grandeur to packed tenement, told partly by former residents' voices.
Our read - 02
The honest catch: it's guided-only with limited timed slots that book up, it's a single building, and the heavy subject matter isn't a light sightseeing stop.
