V&A Museum of Childhood Garden (also known as Bethnal Green Museum, Bethnal Green Poor's Land)

Introduction

The museum is bounded by its original railings, with garden to the front and on either side, predominantly lawn with perimeter trees. 'The Eagle Slayer', a bronze statue of a boy by John Bell, was erected in the north-west corner of the grounds in 1927, since relocated inside the museum following substantial refurbishment works completed in 2006, which included remodelling the front landscaping of the grounds.
