2017: Spitalfields Life has a terrific post on this house: "Emery Walker’s House in Hammersmith Terrace has survived almost as he left it ... Today it boasts one of London’s best preserved Arts & Crafts interiors ... " and there are lots of photos. There we learn that Thomas Cobden-Sanderson had been the previous resident of the house.
