The William Morris Society occupies the Coach House and lower rooms of Kelmscott House in Hammersmith, the riverside home where Morris lived from 1878 until his death. Inside you'll find the permanent exhibition on his life and craft, alongside original designs, printing blocks and personal memorabilia. Families can pick up a free Strawberry Thief trail, while the society also runs workshops, talks and walks throughout the year. It suits those curious about Victorian design, socialism and the Arts and Crafts movement, and groups can arrange tailored visits in advance. The museum is cashless, open Thursday to Sunday, and sits within London's Museums & Galleries scene, with Kensington Olympia station 1.2 miles away and 577 places to stay within 5 miles for those planning a longer visit.
