Where: Keats Grove, NW3

What: Housed in a former regency home of the romantic poet John Keats (he lived here between 1818 - 20), this is a museum containing personal relics and information on Keats life and works.

The charming house, once two regency cottages, was the home of Keats during a period when he wrote some of his finest poetry, including 'Ode to a Nightingale' which was written in the surrounding garden. The house contains books, manuscripts and memorabilia associated with Keats, his fiancee Fanny Brawne (including their engagement ring. Her family lived in a larger house next door when Keats lived here) and his circle of friends.

Keats House has recently achieved registered status as a museum. It was also the top UK Poetry Landmark of the year in 2003.
