There is a mish mash of things packed into two storeys of his house- an Egyptian sarcophagus being the highlight.  There are several Hogarth paintings with him being the ‘father of British satire’ according to Ian Hislop editor of Private Eye.

Entry is free

It’s recommended to be there early to avoid queuing in the cold so Dionne proposes to catch the 9.30am from East Croydon– any late comers can join the group at the Musuem.  That means being at East Croydon station at 9.15 to have enough time to get tickets and make it to the platform to get to London Bridge where the group will catch the 133  bus from stop M to Holborn Station where there is a short walk to the museum

Maybe grab a light snack nearby or on your own in Lincoln Inn Fields – which is London’s largest public square- although sitting outside in February eating might not be a good idea!

‘We can spend some time looking at the sculptures as I guess not much to see in terms of vegetation. From there we can explore Lincoln’s Inn.

• From Lincoln’s Inn Fields, you can wander through Lincoln’s Inn (the legal inn) which has some quiet courtyard squares.
• Walk into the nearby Inner Temple / Middle Temple area: historic alleyways, cobbled paths, and the Temple Church are near.Option to walk to Somerset House on the Thames to see the courtyard but I reckon I would be tired by then.

Let Dionne know as soon as possible so that if necessary she can make the Musuem aware of potential numbers.
