‘Part of the Huguenot heritage is to remember that we were all once strangers and pilgrims in the land... This memory is also a call to demonstrate the generosity to the strangers of our own day which flows from the heart...'
Richard Chartres, the Bishop of London (of Huguenot refugee descent)
Summer openings
We will soon announce a few extra openings during 16-23 June, for Refugee Week 2013, before our building closes temporarily for repairs.

‘very weird and interesting at the same time’
Mustaq, aged 10
19 Princelet Street is otherwise open only for group visits and learning, by advance booking. These visits are in great demand, and have included talks and tours for groups from Britain, elsewhere in Europe, the United States, Japan and Hong Kong. See group visits and our access policy which explain how we encourage affordable group donations to support our work.
‘the most interesting and thought provoking afternoon I’ve spent in a very
long while’
Mauro, HM Treasury
We have welcomed many diverse groups: trade unions; banks; architects; artists; U3A; community groups; schools; and university students of religion, museums policy, literature, politics, diaspora studies, and anthropology.
