If you enjoy John Keats then you Must go and see where he lived in Hampstead. Nice place BUT make sure you don’t go on-a Monday or Tuesday, they’re closed!
I have been wanting to go here for a long time so maybe because I had too many expectations before my arrival. I do like the whole house overall, but the point is, just like a lot of other poets or writers’ houses, there are only a few rooms that still have furniture, as most of the rooms are emptied and replaced with paintings or display boxes, etc. Two pieces of furniture worth seeing are his sofa couch and his bed. One other item I liked was his notebook from the period that he was still in the medical field. Overall, it’s a nice place to visit for all the writer’s housegoers and romanticism lovers.
A beautiful house museum, with well-kept gardens and a beautiful library. It provides a detailed overview of the life and works of John Keats, his time spent there, his works, influences, relationships and worries until the time of his death. The house is extremely polished given its longevity and the exposition has been carefully curated and researched to ensure an immersive experience. Tickets were £9 for adults. Would recommend!
John Keats regard is one of the best Poets in English literature. His short lived life is a poem on its own. His house is minimalistic and sober, not much wealth on display just pen and paper to bring words and thoughts alive which is far more valuable and thus wealth on its own. “I may die old of age to be forgotten by those who loved me and those who interacted with me. My laughter , my hugs , my kisses all washed away like tear drops throughout the years. Tear drops that did not fill a sea nor a lake, just a small fountain for that I am grateful”
Decent venue for a kids birthday bash, steeped in local heritage.
Gorgeous little house of poet Keats who lived here for two years and have created most famous poems. Lovely and friendly staff, 3floors and beautiful garden
The garden is a haven of peace and tranquility. It was quiet when I visited, just the sound of birdsong. Sit in this garden and imagine Keats writing his "Ode to a Nightingale" for this is where it happened, as he listen to this bird calling forth. The house is full of interest and charts his brief but inspired life. There is a good looped film giving an overview of his life in the basement floor and in one of the upstairs rooms you can listen to some of his poetry. His life and death masks are on display as well as various memorabilia and his original handwritten manuscript of his last work "Ode to Autumn", perhaps there's some personal significance in this title as he was already quite ill.
The home of English poet, John Keats. A beautiful house with garden with a nearby library. A very beautiful big garden with lots of flowers and I'm sure Keats must have enjoyed the birds singing in spring.
