This paper is concerned with embeddings of homogeneous spaces into Euclidean spaces. We show that any homogeneous metric space can be embedded into a Hilbert space using an almost bi-Lipschitz mapping (bi-Lipschitz to within logarithmic corrections). The image of this set is no longer homogeneous, but `almost homogeneous'. We therefore study the problem of embedding an almost homogeneous subset $X$ of a Hilbert space $H$ into a finite-dimensional Euclidean space. In fact we show that if $X$ is a compact subset of a Banach space and $X-X$ is almost homogeneous then, for $N$ sufficiently large, a prevalent set of linear maps from $X$ into $\Re^N$ are almost bi-Lipschitz between $X$ and its image. We are then able to use the Kuratowski embedding of $(X,d)$ into $L^\infty(X)$ to prove a similar result for compact metric spaces.
