The Borough of Waltham Forest lies to the east of central London, with its centre, Walthamstow, located 30 minutes from the city.

The Morris family home, dating back to the mid 18th century, is now the William Morris Gallery located in Lloyd Park. The gallery displays a permanent exhibition of his life and work including wallpapers, fabrics, carpets and stained glass.
