Home to English Romantic poet John Keats between 1818 and 1820, and 
now the Keats House Museum, during his time the house was known as Wentworth Place.
For a London-born poet inspired by nature Wentworth Place was the ideal refuge, close enough to the city yet still rural. It was surrounded by a pretty, well-kept garden but faced directly on to the romantic wilderness of Hampstead Heath.
And it was here he fell in love with his “bright star”, Fanny Brawne, and wrote some of his greatest poetry.
