  1. INTERESTING PLACES IN LONDON

  2. KEATS HOUSE

  3. JOHN KEATS Keats House is where the poet John Keats lived from 1818 to 1820, and is the setting that inspired some of Keats’s most memorable poetry. Here, Keats wrote 'Ode to a Nightingale', and fell in love with Fanny Brawne, the girl next door. It was from this house that he travelled to Rome, where he died of tuberculosis aged just 25.

  4. MUSEUM Keats House is a thriving museum dedicated not only to the poetry of John Keats but also to poetry in general. We work closely with local community groups, museums, artists and schools, and run popular poetry groups. We run regular events and, assisted by our vibrant team of volunteers, bring the life and times of John Keats to contemporary Hampstead.

  5. WHAT YOU CAN SEE THERE The Keats House collection is comprised of an enormous variety of Keats related material including books, paintings and everyday household items which might have been used in the house at the time. Some of the original material includes letters written by Keats, books in which Keats wrote some of his poetry, and the engagement ring given by Keats to his fiancée, Fanny Brawne.

  9. O2 ARENA

  10. The O2 Arena (visually typeset in branding as The O2arena, referred to as North Greenwich Arena in context of the 2012 Summer Olympics and Paralympics) is a multi-purpose indoor arena located in the centre of The O2, a large entertainment complex on the Greenwich peninsula in London, England.

  11. HISTORY Construction of the arena started in 2003 and finished in 2007. Owing to the impossibility of using cranes inside the dome structure, the arena's roof was constructed on the ground within the dome and then lifted. The arena building's structure was then built around the roof. The arena building, which houses the arena and the arena concourse, is independent from all other buildings in The O2 and houses all the arena's facilities.
