Well, it's open for visitors and splendid it looks in it's full restoration - so come on down to Keat's House (Wentworth Place).But I thought that these picture of the house under scaffolding were more unusual and less likely to survive the gaze of history and memory.
The House is of course in Keat's Grove off Downshire Hill and South End Road and is immediately next to Heath Library and has stunning garden and grounds.
There is a really good website set up by the City of London which you should take time to look at

The refurbishment has been done meticulously and in huge amounts of detail and there are a great range of new exhibits - I'm especially struck by Fanny Brawne's engagement ring from John Keats!Opening times
