Museum of Homelessness is a museum and gallery in Haringey that builds a national collection preserving the histories of homelessness, poverty and social action. Alongside its exhibitions, such as the Criminal exhibition, the museum carries out independent investigations and campaigns, aiming to influence policymakers and change perceptions of homelessness. It also runs events, including an evening series called Finsbury Park After Dark. The museum suits visitors interested in social history, activism and community-led storytelling. It's well placed for a longer stay in the area, with Harringay Green Lanes station just 0.5 miles away, Hampstead Heath (Mens Pond) beach 2.6 miles away, and 601 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays.
