    Fascinating museum detailing the history of William Morris and his textile designs situated in his childhood home. Also Good for children as they have a few interactive features and videos that guide you through manufacturing processes. Don't miss the cafe.

    Lovely building, interesting displays. Also a cafe indoors, and one outdoors at the back of the extensive garden, lovely to walk through. Easy access via the 123 bus to Walthamstow for those who don't drive .

    Delightful yet modern museum. A perfect potted history of the Arts and Crafts design movement and the life of William and May Morris. Great little shop, lovely tea room. Recommended, though international visitors are catered for in the same way as the big museums.

    Great place to visit. Beautiful building and gardens. I visited the museum today with a friend. We were met by a lively volunteer who told us a bit about William Morris and the best way to go around the museum. It starts with Morris's early life and tell you the history of how he got into design. There are beautiful patterns to see from the drawings, to the tools and dyes they used, to the end product. There are children's areas set up including, dressing up, puppets, weaving etc. There is a lift. There is a small cafe and shop too. The grounds are beautiful there is a lake with a small waterfall, tennis courts, children's playground and another cafe. It is well worth a visit.
