Today on our way to have lunch at Merkamo Ethiopian food stall at Old Spitalfields Market, we stumbled upon the recently opened Eataly, an Italian Food Hall, which we will definitely have to return to because it is amazing. After lunch we came upon the Museum of the Home, devoted to the history of London home life. The museum is housed in almshouses that were built in 1714 to provide homes for poor pensioners.
