The Museum of Immigration and Diversity in London is a migration museum .

It is located in a Georgian house from 1719, which was initially the home of the French refugee family Ogier, who became prosperous with the silk trade. Workshops and accommodations for Huguenots were set up in the house. Irish and Jewish emigrants from Eastern Europe later found shelter there and founded self-help groups . A small synagogue was built in the garden in 1869 . The museum presents the individual waves of immigration and their contribution to the multicultural and cosmopolitan urban society of London.
