Though born and raised in the urban sprawl of London, Romantic poet John Keats drew much of his inspiration from nature.
His name is forever linked with what was a more rural part of the capital, Hampstead, where he lived between 1817 and 1820.
A house he shared there with his friend Charles Brown is now the Keats House Museum.
A well-known painting of him by another friend, Joseph Severn, shows Keats listening to a nightingale on Hampstead Heath. It was painted years after the poet’s death, in Rome in 1821, at the age of just 25.
