The house is very different . They ask you to go around the house in silent, thats very difficult when you have a 2year old. We were in the kitchen and on display was a jelly ( not a real jelly) when my granddaughter saw it she started sing "jelly on a plate". We were all trying not to laugh and telling her to be quiet.

"Dennis Severs’ House at 18 Folgate Street, Spitalfields is more than just a time capsule. It is both a breathtaking and an intimate portrait of the lives of a family of Huguenot silk-weavers from 1724 to the dawn of the 20th Century. As you follow their fortunes through the generations, the sights, smells and sounds of the house take you into their lives. It was Dennis Severs’ intention that as you enter his house it is as if you have passed through the surface of a painting, exploring with your senses and imagination a meticulously crafted 18th Century world."
