 Telegraph | Travel | London: The ideal home for idealists
Guests escaping the London grime would take the train to the rural station at Abbey Wood, on the newly extended North Kent Line, where they would be met and taken to the house in a crazily painted, chintz-covered wagonette.
Red House was no ordinary dwelling - it was "more of a poem than a house", a reaction to the ugliness of the industrial age, an expression of a philosophy that urged a return to nature and to buildings that were honest, homely, traditional and well made.
Though the house is complete with original stained glass, light fittings and fireplaces and has wonderful big chunks of built-in furniture (the dresser painted "dragon's blood red" in the dining room, the hall settle with scenes painted by Morris) the trust will surely add some further treasures.

Locked among suburban town houses, the blandly-named 'Red House' was thought to have sparked a stylistic time bomb when it was built rejecting formal Victorian architecture for simple materials and medieval-style craftmanship.

Integrating the garden with Red House was of utmost importance to the Webb who went as far as to render climbing plants onto the original drawings of the house.

Few starlets were as gorgeous as 18-year-old Julie London when she entered the film business in 1944 with "Nabonga." She befriended a gorilla after living through a plane crash in that one.
In one of her best roles, she played the wife of alcoholic Richard Egan in "Voice in the Mirror." In addition to singing the haunting vocal track, London was enormously effective as a woman who would rather see her much-loved husband dead than ever watch him take another drink.
It was London's special gift to take tough tender characters, however sketchily drawn, & work her unique magic on them so they emerged fully dimensional & glowingly real.
