Story of Design | Iconic Architecture Past and Present

Some people need to be reminded to look up whilst walking around a city – but that’s not you. For you, all the delights of city living are found in the built environment. Through the architecture and design of the structures that populate the area, you glimpse snippets of local history – traces of the past and stories of forgotten businesses, people and lives. From vintage signwriting, brutalist buildings and art deco facades – nothing escapes your notice.

Your keen eye for design means you can be found admiring the Victorian houses around Lloyd Park and the architecture of William Morris’ home. The façade and windows of the Assembly Hall and the Wetland’s striking engine house.

These artworks are a bit of you, and a bit of Walthamstow – celebrating our historic buildings and iconic businesses of the past. These artists pay attention to the architecture of these spaces – whilst infusing them with style, life and joy.
