Explore Morris’s artistry, his family life and the creative community that thrived in his riverside home.
Step inside William Morris’s Hammersmith home and discover the magic that shaped his art, politics, and ideals.
From hand-drawn designs to revolutionary ideas, our new permanent exhibition reveals the beauty and energy that flourished within Kelmscott House.
At Kelmscott House in Hammersmith, overlooking the River Thames, Morris pursued new creative directions for his firm Morris & Co., experimented with book design and private printing, and became a leading voice in the Socialist League.
His time here was shaped by both domestic life with his wife Jane and their daughters Jenny and May, and by a flourishing circle of friends and collaborators who helped foster a vibrant atmosphere of art, ideas, and activism.
