Morris's boyhood home in Walthamstow, free, and the only museum devoted to him: the patterns, the politics and the workshop.
Free
Also in Art.
William Morris lived at Water House from 1848, when he was fourteen, until 1856, and the Georgian house in what is now Lloyd Park has held his museum since Clement Attlee opened it in 1950. It is the most complete collection of his work anywhere and the only public museum devoted to him: the wallpapers and printed cottons, the tapestries and stained glass of Morris & Co, the Kelmscott Press books and the furniture, shown room by room from the boy to the firm to the shop, with a room for the socialist who marched, lectured and was arrested, taken as seriously here as the designer. A £5 million rebuilding won it Museum of the Year in 2012. The gallery is closed for renovation until the autumn of 2026, when it reopens with an exhibition on radical living; the park and the café stay open, and entry is free.
