Question of the week: There are so many museums in London it's hard to know where to start - can you recommend one that used to be a house? "It's a little bit off the beaten track, but if you make your way to the eastern end of the Victoria line, to Walthamstow, and then walk or take the bus the length of Hoe Street, you'll find Water House, William Morris's family home from 1848 to 1856, and now home to the William Morris Gallery.
Perhaps the most famous member of the Victorian Arts and Crafts movement, Morris' influence, both as a designer and as a thinker, persists to this day. The William Morris gallery celebrates his work, and it's a gem of a collection - well worth the trip."- Miss Alice
