About this Event

Museum Lates at Dr Johnson's House

Join us for candlelit Christmas drinks in Dr Johnson's enchanting and atmospheric 17th-century House of Words!

Like many Londoners today, Johnson was not from London. The son of a bookseller in Lichfield (Staffordshire), Johnson walked to the capital in 1737 seeking fame and fortune. He never left. While fortune evaded him, Dr Johnson rose to become one of the greatest literary figures of the 18th century and compiled his seminal at his home in Gough Square, published in 1755.



Soak up the atmosphere

Dr Johnson's House is the only original historic townhouse still standing in Gough Square, having survived the Blitz and developments. Built in the 1690s, shortly after the Great Fire of London, the four-storey House retains many of its period features, including a very quirky anti-burglary device! You can browse all the rooms and sit down on the chairs and window seats to soak up the atmosphere in what was still the tallest building in the area during WWII.
