Emery Walker Trust

Tours of an Arts & Crafts house, the home of Emery Walker (1851-1933) and later residents who kept the furnishings and décor intact. Includes William Morris wallpaper, flooring and draperies, and ceramics and tapestries by other artists. An hour-long, volunteer-led tour provides interesting commentary about the residents and items on display. No photos permitted indoors. Must book ahead. (Thanks, guides Ellie and Gwen.) While in the area, check out the William Morris Society museum (currently, 2-5 pm Thu, Sat, Sun).

Excellent guide who really knew her stuff when it come to Emery Walker and the history surrounding him. Amazing that the place survived so untouched. Definitely worth a visit if you are interested in the arts and crafts movement and the players in it.

I thoroughly recommend this house museum to visit for it's great social and artistic history, furniture and furnishings, photographs and ambience. Do go and then afterwards have a lovely walk along the Thames to one of the pubs close by for a drink and/or a meal.

We originally booked to go to Emery Walker's House in 2020, but then Covid happened... So we rebooked earlier this month. It's timed entry and guided tours only. Our guide was excellent, very knowledgeable, engaging and enthusiastic. We loved seeing the Arts and Crafts artefacts: paintings, pottery, furniture, wallpaper, and learning about the history of the House and its occupants. It was a fascinating hour and a quarter tour, after which we could, within reason, revisit the rooms for a closer look at specific items of interest. Fans of William Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement will thoroughly enjoy a visit to this wonderful time capsule of a house!

Lovely home of Emery Walker friend of William Morris, well preserved wallpapers and fabrics. The guides are extremely knowledgeable and so dedicated. The small garden is also full of delightful plants. Plus fantastic views of the river!! Some nice pubs nearby to complete the experience :)

Perfect hidden gem. It's like stepping back in time and in the perfect spot on the river. A lovely 5minute walk to William Morris Society also

A very interesting tour of the Arts and Crafts home of an associate of William Morris. Well worth visiting.

A total joy – so much to see and take in in this treasure trove of a mid-18c tall terraced house: fascinating story of the life of someone I should have known about, but hadn't realised linked in with so many key creative figures of the late-19c Arts and Crafts world. Charming, enthusiastic and hugely well-informed guide made it all come alive. Glorious autumn sunshine and views of the river were bonuses in a delightful experience.
