Francisco and I hiked (read: rode the train) way out to East London to the end of some line to see the William Morris House, which has lately been reopened. It was delightful--it explored the vast creative talents of Williams Morris and the people who surrounded him--from stained glass to wallpaper patterns to politics and printing to furniture.
