Freud Museum
A fascinating museum at what was the home Sigmund Freud and his family when they escaped Austria following the Nazi annexation in 1938. The centrepiece of the museum is Freud’s study, preserved just as it was during his lifetime. One of the most iconic pieces is Freud’s psychoanalytic couch, still there to be seen. Very interesting, highly recommended.

London’s canals play an important part of London’s history. It’s the only London museum of waterways and is close to Camden, near King’s Cross. It’s great for adults and children, and is based in a former ice warehouse built over 150 years ago. A great afternoon outing.
