How London's Homelessness Museum finally found a home

Available for over a year

The Museum of Homelessness at Finsbury Park's Manor House isn't your traditional museum - it's an interactive and immersive show, run mainly by people with personal experience of homelessness. The project has been years in the making - for almost a decade in fact. And until now, it's been operating as a peripatetic setup 鈥� exhibitions springing up in spots like the tunnels beneath Waterloo station, Tate Modern and even Manchester Art Gallery. But as of 24 May 2024, though 鈥� thanks to a 10-year lease 鈥� the Museum of Homelessness will open its doors at Finsbury Park's Manor House Lodge 鈥� an old gatekeeper's cottage. Luxmy Gopal has been for a look. (Image credit: Lucinda MacPherson)
