One of the most special places I've visited in Walthamstow. It's hard to believe you're in the middle of Walthamstow once you step inside. Go early to avoid the crowds.
A must-see for anyone interested in design. Everything from the decorative arts to the overall atmosphere is superb. A genuinely special experience.
We spent about two hours here and wished we'd had more time. The Arts and Crafts collection is presented with real care and sensitivity. Go early to avoid the crowds.
