Brief description

"The William Morris Gallery is a museum devoted to the life and works of William Morris, an English Arts and Crafts designer and early socialist. It is located in Walthamstow at Water House, a substantial Grade II* listed Georgian home.[1] The extensive grounds of the building are a public park, known as Lloyd Park."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Morris_Gallery 

"Housed in the Grade II* listed building that was once Morris's family home, the Gallery displays the world's largest collection of his work, alongside contemporary exhibitions and an active events and learning programme. Our purpose is to share the rich artistic and social legacy of one of Britain's greatest designers."
