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 1999. 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. 

Sadly the trustees have reluctantly decided that it will not be possible to open 7 Hammersmith Terrace in 2011 on the same scale as they have for the past five years. The trust’s expenditure exceeds its income, which has been sharply reduced by low interest rates. We intend to open on a limited basis next year. An announcement of the 2011 opening dates/times will made next year. If you have friends who want to visit, I strongly advise them to come before the end of September 2010.

 During the next six months the trustees will be urgently exploring a range of options to secure the future of the house and its unique collection.

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

 
John Cherry,
Chairman, The Emery Walker Trust
