What to See in Southgate

Keats House

Keats House is now a museum devoted to the Romantic poet John Keats. Located in Keats Grove, Hampstead, North London and easily accessed by road, rail or public transport, the museum is worth a visit to those of you who love the works of Keats. Street Maps prior to 1915 show Keats Grove with an earlier name, John Street. The road has also been recognized as Albion Grove. The original building formed part of a pair of semi-detached houses known as "Wentworth Place".

John Keats boarded in one of the houses with his friend Charles Brown, between December 1818 and September 1820. These were reportedly Keats's most productive years of writing. According to his long term friend Charles Brown, Ode to a Nightingale was written under a plum tree in the garden of the residence.

During his time in the house, Keats fell in love with and became engaged to Fanny Brawne, who lived with her family in the adjacent house. Keats who had been diagnosed with tuberculosis became increasingly ill and was advised to move to a warmer climate. His departure from London in 1820 to Italy was unfortunately followed a year later by his death. Keats never married his beloved Fanny Brawne.

The house is a Grade I Listed building and remains intact.
