Museum House was constructed in 1888 by the East End Dwellings Company, established with the aim of improving housing conditions in the East End of London. It comprises 22 period flats and forms part of the Boundary Estate, recognised as one of the first social housing projects in the UK. The estate replaced the notorious Old Nichol slum, providing improved living conditions for working-class residents. Today, Museum House stands as a testament to Victorian-era efforts to address urban housing challenges and remains a significant part of London's architectural heritage.

Bethnal Green and neighbouring Shoreditch have benefited from much regeneration over recent decades; renovated warehouses, independent shops, artisan coffee houses, highly rated restaurants and reclaimed vintage stores have made the area a popular place to own a property and a favourite destination for visitors. Columbia Road Flower Market, Spitalfields and Whitechapel are all close by as well as Westfield Stratford shopping centre and some fantastic green escapes further afield - Haggerston Park, London Fields, Queen Elizabeth's Olympic Park, and Victoria Park - voted London's favourite outdoor space.
