welcome

Welcome to the website for 7 Hammersmith Terrace, the former home of Emery Walker, friend and mentor to William Morris

No 7 Hammersmith Terrace is a tall terraced house on the River Thames at Hammersmith in west London. Its sober Georgian exterior hides a secret – the decoration and furnishings preserved as they were in the lifetime of the printer Emery Walker (1851-1933), a great friend and mentor to William Morris. It is the last authentic Arts and Crafts interior in Britain. The house has been open for small groups of visitors each summer since 2005. If you want to know more about the house and its owners, or if you would like to visit or to help the small charitable trust that runs the house, please explore this website.

I am pleased to announce that we will be open in 2012 on every Saturday from April to September, and also to pre-booked tours on other days. Despite inflation and despite the growth in costs, we are keeping the admission fees at the same level as in 2006. I hope that we have an opportunity to welcome you or your group to the house.

Because of increased costs and declining income through low interest rates, the Trust is still spending more than it earns through income. We are still exploring a range of options to secure the future of the house and its unique collection, and any support that you can give us will be much appreciated.

We welcome your interest and look forward to hearing from you.
