Charming museum which tells the desperately sad story of the extreme poverty and conditions most children in the East End lived in Victorian times. Both my nans lived within a quarter of a mile of the school so I know the area well it's hard to reconcile the "third world" conditions of then with the gentrification of the now. You will still be able to draw parallels with how poor people are treated now in the UK when you read the information boards and that made me sad. Give yourself about an hour to go around, and if you want to avoid crowds (specifically children) get there bang on opening time...I had the whole place to myself, mercifully!

My wife and I just visited The Ragged School Museum and it was absolutely brilliant, very interesting and atmospheric in a beautiful Victorian building. Well worth a visit 👍👍👍👍

A hidden gem that deserves a lot more exposure as it highlights just how tragic life was for Victorian parents who couldn't afford education for their children, and how the concept of Ragged School sought to correct this gap for the thousands of impoverished kids living in London. There's an entire classroom that gives you an idea of how basic the day to day learning was and it's actually used even now to give kids today an idea of just how simple the classrooms back then really were. There's also a room above the classroom that paints a picture of what extreme poverty looked like in Victorian London and it makes for a sombre experience. Definitely a museum that's under the radar but one that you should check out to learn just how tragically difficult it was for Victorian children to have an education - a tool that by right should be universal for all, no matter who you are or where you're from.
