Kelmscott House

Kelmscott House in Hammersmith was the final home of English textile designer William Morris.  Built in 1785, it is a Georgian brick mansion overlooking the Thames.

Later in the day we stopped by Westminster to see what was going on there.  The Queen is lying in state at Westminster Hall.  The queue for viewing currently extends for almost 5 miles and purportedly has an 8 hour wait.

The Queen's funeral will be here at Westminster Abbey
on Monday.
