Location: Keats Grove, Hampstead, London, NW3 2RR
Description: This is Wentworth House, the Regency house where poet John Keats lived from 1818 to 1820, and is the setting which inspired some of Keatss most memorable poetry.
Here, Keats wrote Ode to a Nightingale, and fell in love with Fanny Brawne, the girl next door.
