This restriction has been put in place in order to comply with national and regional guidelines on safeguarding staff and visitors against  Sars-Cov-2 . We therefore invite visitors to book and purchase entrance tickets in advance.We also kindly request visitors to bring protective face masks and gloves with them to the House, and we advise that entrance may be refused if visitors have a high temperature or experience other symptoms of Covid-19. Visitors will receive a short introduction from one of our expert guides and have time to explore the museum and collections by themselves, seeing the House's recently restored eighteenth-century ceilings and portrait busts, as well as the collections of books, manuscripts, relics, and art works. There is also a temporary exhibition of drawings on display titled 'John Keats and Virginia Woolf: Hampstead and Rome'. The House's shop containing unique and bespoke merchandise inspired by the Romantic poets is open.
