Dr Johnson's House , London
Dr. Johnson's House, built in 1700, is a former home of the 18th century English writer Samuel Johnson. It was here that he compiled the first comprehensive English Dictionary. The house is a rare example of a house of its era which survives in the City of London. It is located in a small pedestrianised court in a tangle of ancient alleyways which are a reminder of historic London.
The house features paneled rooms, a pine staircase, and a collection of period furniture, prints and portraits. There are exhibitions about Johnson's life and work.
