| John Keats spent two years from 1818 to 1820 at this house in the leafy suburb of Hampstead. The collection housed here includes letters, manuscripts and relics belonging to him and his contemporaries. It was under a plum tree in the garden of this Grade II listed building that Keats wrote his 'Ode to a Nightingale'. The building was originally a pair of semi-detached houses known as Wentworth Place. He fell in love with the girl next door, Fanny Brawne, to whom he was engaged. But they never married and it was from this house that he travelled to Rome, on the advice of his doctor. Sadly the moved failed to save him from tuberculosis and he died aged just 25. As you'd expect, poetry is appreciated here and there are regular themed poetry readings. |
