The house was closed the time I went, but I had a chance to look through windows and it was so beautiful and the library is well maintained
Overall it is a rather small exhibition in what I can only describe as an unkempt house for the price you pay.
Keats house hasn't been looked after and the gardens are poor. There are one or two things of note in the garden but really, what a poorly kept overrated garden.
I'm unsure Keats would have appreciated his name and legacy is now used to rip off local authorities in fees for school children who attend.
It's around £9 for an adult entry, I didn't see how much for a child. For a class of 30 children that were present when I went it would add up.

A well preserved house with a lovely atmosphere. A chance to sit and listen to some of his poems in a couple of the rooms. I was enthralled.
Beautiful Hampstead house, home to Keats in his last years. It's always inspirational to visit this handsome Regency house.
Such a beautiful tribute to a poet as inspiring as John Keats. I've started reading his works 5 months ago, but with this intimate view of his life and tragic end I can assure I fell in love.
Would 100% recommend if interested in the author! 💛

Gorgeous little house of poet Keats who lived here for two years and have created most famous poems. Lovely and friendly staff, 3floors and beautiful garden
The garden is a haven of peace and tranquility. It was quiet when I visited, just the sound of birdsong. Sit in this garden and imagine Keats writing his "Ode to a Nightingale" for this is where it happened, as he listen to this bird calling forth.
The house is full of interest and charts his brief but inspired life. There is a good looped film giving an overview of his life in the basement floor and in one of the upstairs rooms you can listen to some of his poetry. His life and death masks are on display as well as various memorabilia and his original handwritten manuscript of his last work "Ode to Autumn", perhaps there's some personal significance in this title as he was already quite ill.
