Walthamstow in North East London has always been a diverse, artistic and vibrant place, but having lived in and around the area all my life, I’ve seen a few changes take place over the years. The William Morris Gallery, recently opened it’s doors after an extensive renovation (with exhibitions by David Bailey and Grayson Perry) scooping the prestigious Art Fund Prize for Museum of the Year. Scores of artists now live and work in the area and the E17 Art Trail (where for two weeks, hundreds of artists exhibit work in shops, pubs, restaurants, studios and private homes) has snowballed in recent years.
