Story
Keats House preserves the place where John Keats lived during a decisive period of his life. In this Hampstead house, then part of Wentworth Place, he developed his relationship with Fanny Brawne and wrote poetry that made his brief career one of the most influential in English literature, including the tradition associated with *Ode to a Nightingale*. The record is `Both/Essential cultural · nearby`: important but not core, because an interior visit requires dedicated time. Even without entering, the house and garden locate Hampstead’s literary geography. The app should resist reducing the story to sentimental romance; the place also speaks about creative work, illness, friendship and a career unfolding under severe time pressure.
