Keats House is the museum where the poet John Keats lived from
1818 to 1820, and is the setting which inspired some of Keats’s
most memorable poetry. Here, Keats wrote
'Ode to a Nightingale', and fell in love with Fanny Brawne, the
girl next door. It was from this house that he travelled to Rome,
where he died of tuberculosis aged just 25.
Closure
Keats House is closed for internal refurbishment until summer
2009 as part of a £424,000 Heritage Lottery grant. To find out
