Reviews of London Sewing Machine Museum
C. C.A great hidden gem of London! Museum is free but only open for 3 hours once a month, so check the opening dates and times online before visiting. Highlight of the visit is definitely the member of staff who led the hourly talk - she has a great sense of humour and her passion for sewing machines is absolutely contagious! I went into the museum knowing virtually nothing but left with a newfound appreciation for them!
K. S.This is the only one of its kind in London. Sewing machines of all different shapes and sizes dating as far back as the 1840s. It is only open on the first Saturday of each month but it's worth going to see this dazzling private collection. You get a guided tour thrown in. Best to go in the warmer seasons as otherwise you'll need thermals - it was freezing in January! The haberdashers store next door is amazing! Really friendly, helpful staff and lots of choice.
Z. V.A really neat place! The lady who hosts the talks has a great sense of humour and is very knowledgeable. I'm not much into sewing myself but it was well worth taking the time to walk through a piece of everyday history.
D. B.Odd museum only open one day a month. More sewing machines than I've ever seen before including the first model ever sold. There is a fun guided tour. Free (although donations to a charity welcome) Quirky and enjoyable.
J. F.My partner is into sewing so we decided to visit the Sewing Machine Museum after reading about it on the Londonist website. The Museum itself is attached to the Sewing Machine factory on the site. It is only open on the first Saturday of the month between 14:00 and 17:00 making it quite difficult to get to.
Even though it isn't my passion, seeing some of the old Singer sewing machines was fascinating and seeing how they have evolved over time. It is fantastic value since entry is free. There is a member of staff there who can give you a tour through some of the more interesting and unusual exhibits, including a sewing machine designed exclusively for Queen Victoria.
The fascia of the original shop which inspired the creation of the attached Wimbledon Sewing Machine Co. is recreated in the museum. Although it can look uninspiring and industrial from the outside, the LSMM is a great visit for sewers and non-sewers alike.
I. S.very interesting museum. wealth of models from throughout the centuries. absolutely fascinating. very informative and lively talk a must. lots of photo opportunities. great afternoon out.

R. G.I had low expectations but how wrong I was. A charismatic guide and lots of human interest stories as well as detail for the sewing machine geeks.
V. H.Really interesting talk and place. Had to queue a bit to get in though.
K. D.Truly amazing A great way to spend an afternoon with an enthusiastic and friendly guide. If you like sewing or the odd and eccentric you'll love this
N. B.A gem of a museum, one of a kind. You would not believe there are so many different types. Only open on Saturday a month so check before you visit.

E. W.Took my to be fashion designer niece to this museum and was very informative and educational

A. G.More interesting than you would think!
K. W.Cute, quirky little museum
T. K.(Translated) A really large exhibition of sewing machines from the 1800's and 1900's. Included the world's first sewing machine from 1829 and Queen Victoria's daughter's sewing machine from 1865. An interesting tour, I recommend.
The location is unobtrusive at the upstairs of the sewing machine service.
(Original)
Todella laaja näyttely ompelukoneita 1800- ja 1900-luvuilta. Mukana mm. maailman ensimmäinen ompelukone vuodelta 1829 ja kuningatar Victorian tyttären ompelukone vuodelta 1865. Mielenkiintoinen esittelykierros, suosittelen.
Sijainti huomaamattomasti ompelukoneiden huoltoliikkeen yläkerrassa.
