Hotels near Emery Walker's House at 7 Hammersmith Terrace

One of 17 gorgeously preserved Georgian houses overlooking the Thames at the west end of Hammersmith's Upper Mall, 7 Hammersmith Terrace the former home of Emery Walker - the great printer and antiquary - is a fascinating place. Walker was a close colleague and friend of William Morris, who he helped set up the Kelmscott Press. When Emery Walker died in 1933 his daughter maintained the house as it had been in her father's lifetime. The house claims to possess the best-preserved Arts and Crafts interior in the UK. Until recently it was a private home and first opened to the public in 2005. As a result of its fragile nature, the house only receives a few hundred visitors a year with a maximum of eight people allowed per tour.
