Sir John Soane’s Museum was established by its founder for everyone to enjoy and to be inspired by the design, architecture, and collection of his extraordinary house. The Museum has long been a free resource for everyone, just as Soane intended, and we continue to ensure it remains accessible and engaging for all.

Museum tours Back to top
We welcome community groups to the Museum throughout the year. Most recently, we have run tours for ESOL groups, Home Education groups, adult education groups and older people’s groups.
Our guided tours last for one hour and can accommodate up to 10 guests per tour. Community tours run in the morning on the first Thursday of each month.
Our community tours are free of charge, so if you are a not-for-profit community organisation and do not charge for membership, please contact us via education@soane.org.uk.
If you are unable to join us on the days available, or charge for membership, you can also visit us on Fridays as a Group, or book a Private Tour.
In the community Back to top
Our expert facilitators can provide a virtual experience of the Museum, bringing the Museum and its collection to life either through live streamed tours, or online presentations.
Online tours and presentations run on Tuesdays subject to availability. To find out more, or to book a session, email education@soane.org.uk.
Artspace Back to top
Artspace is our programme for people living with dementia and their carers. The programme offers a convivial space for participants to get to know each other through discovering history and art, with plenty of time for sharing their own stories over tea and biscuits. Our goal is to promote lifelong learning and to enhance the wellbeing of participants through this work.
If you are interested in coming along to our next Artspace as a group or as an individual, email education@soane.org.uk.
