Houses that are now museums - Ric

Question of the week: There are so many museums in London it's hard to know where to start - can you recommend one that used to be a house?

"The Horniman Museum, 100 London Rd, Forest Hill, London, SE23.

The museum was founded by Victorian tea trader Frederick John Horniman and contained his collection of natural history, cultural artefacts and musical instruments. One of its most famous exhibits is the large collection of stuffed animals. It also has an aquarium noted for its unique layout. The museum sits in 16 acres of parkland in the - appropriately named - Forest Hill area of South London."- Ric
