The William Morris Gallery in East London's Walthamstow is a simply stunning choice when it comes to finding your wedding venue. For those who are interested in history and design, this setting will mean so much than a wedding venue, as the former family home of iconic British designer and artist, William Morris.
William Morris was a 19th-century designer, known for his overtly floral patterns which are still extremely popular today, covering wallpapers, fabrics and rugs, even now in current collections on the highstreet. The William Morris Gallery is, as mentioned, housed within Morris' former home, a Grade II Listed Georgian mansion, built in the 1740s. Inside, it boasts gorgeous period details like high ceilings, statement staircases and huge fireplaces, while outside, the building is set within pretty Lloyd Park, a lovely spot for wedding photos.
There are four options when it comes to selecting your space for the big day. The Acanthus Room sits on the top floor and is large, lofty space with wall pannelling and original, wooden flooring. Here, you can host up to 40 people. The Story Lounge is similar, also on the first floor and boasting large windows and period details, but will enough room for 50 people.
For a more casual feel, the Glasshouse cafe is a modern extension with large glass panels and an exposed brick wall. Here, up to 90 people can gather standing, or between 20 and 40 when seated, depending on the layout. Or, if you'd like to take over the entire property, opt for an exclusive hire option with a capacity of up to 150 people.
