19 Princelet Street, Spitalfields, London
The Museum of Immigration and Diversity is a museum at 19 Princelet Street in Spitalfields, in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, England.[1][2] The Grade II* listed building in which the museum is located was a house built in 1719 for the Huguenot silk merchant Peter Abraham Ogier.[3]
The house went through a number of stages, the building was converted to a synagogue in 1869. The building remained in use until the 1970s, when the congregation had moved out of the area. It has now been passed to a charity, The Spitalfields Centre, set up in 1983 to preserve the building and develop the museum of immigration and diversity.[4]
Due to the fragility of the building, as of 2023[update] the museum only opens for prebooked group visits.[5][6] It has been given £30,000 by English Heritage for repairs and is on the Buildings at Risk Register.[7]
