Interesting looking round this - the oldest building in east London. Dating back to the Tudor times, this house has survived remarkably well, with fabulous wood panellings and a brick exhibit downstairs (an all-brick building was actually unusual for the time). Occupied by squatters and with a tribute upstairs, there are also some crazy adapted camper van/coaches in the garden. Good place to spend 30-40mins looking round…

The house is relatively small but they have many activities, from the very creative meeting with Santas Clause, to the making of Xmas orange, and the showcase of Xmas meals across the Bristish history. It only took 1 hour or 2 to finish the house but we really enjoyed it.

Got off at Hackney Central Overground Station and not far from the station is Sutton House & Breakers Yard . National Trust owned (£10 per adult to get in , 2019 prices) or Free if you are a member. A Tudor property built by Ralph Sadleir who was the Secretary of State to Henry Vlll and him & his family to live there in 1535 . As you go round the rooms you will still see major areas of the house still in Tudor times but also as the house evolved you will go into a Georgian parlour room and a Victorian Study . You can start by going downstairs to the cellar where it tells you all about bricks and how the house used other materials as well , Go and put your hand in one of the draws in the Tudor Kitchen and see what you think is inside ? Also there is a chapel downstairs as well on the East Wing ? Upstairs are some more rooms and that`s where you will see the Victorian Study . There is even some Tudor bricks in the Great Chamber fire place if you look up inside . The Squatters room had some stairs leading to the room but i think the door was locked . A few more rooms and artifacts are at Sutton House as well , A lovely house and still in fine tact even today . The Breakers yard was interesting, one Coach with it`s inside taken out , Where i think it is used for educational purposes and a caravan with it`s own chai lounge downstairs .. I also had a lovely cup of tea which was great especially as the weather was terrible.. The lovely , knowledgeable young lady assistant/staff member called Gem was delightful so helpful and welcomed everyone coming in .. Yep, a nice place to see a little bit of History in East London ..…
