Keats House

Keats House is a museum dedicated to the life and work of John Keats, a poet of the Romantic era. Located in North London, in the Hamstead district. It is inscribed on the list of Class I monuments.

The house was built in 1814-1815 (originally it was two semi-detached houses). Keats moved there because one of the buildings belonged to his friend Charles Brown. He lived there in 1818-1820. The second house was owned by Charles Wentworth Dilke, a writer and critic, which is why the building was called Wentworth Place for years. It was in these walls that the poet's most famous poems were created, where he experienced great love for Fanny Brawne, whom he could not marry due to the unstable financial situation.

The museum's collection consists mainly of letters from the poet to friends and loved ones, manuscripts, poems published in the Examiner magazine and private belongings of Charles Brown and Fanny Brawne, including an engagement ring from Keats. The museum organizes poetry events and offers a number of educational lessons.
