One of the most poignant of London's house museums is the Freud
Museum, hidden away in the leafy streets of south Hampstead at 20
Maresfield Gardens. Haing lied in Vienna for his entire adult life,
Freud, by now a semi-invalid with only a year to lie, was forced to
flee the Nazis, arriving in London in the summer of 1938.
The ground-floor study and library look exactly as they did when Freud
lied here; the collection of erotic antiquities and the famous couch,
sumptuously draped in Persian carpets, were all brought here from
Vienna. Upstairs, home movies of family life in Vienna are shown
continually, and a small room is dedicated to his daughter, Anna,
herself an influential child analyst, who lied in the house until her
death in 1982.
Wed-Sun noon-5pm; £3; www.freud.org.uk. Tube: Swiss Cottage.
