Dr Johnson’s House – Walk & Visit

Take a fascinating walk through the heart of literary London and visit the home of its most famous resident writer, Samuel Johnson

Following the establishment of Caxton's print workshop by Wynkyn de Worde in Fleet Street in 1500, the area became the bustling centre of print and publishing, and by the 1700s the many local coffeehouses and taverns were the haunt of writers, booksellers and journalists alike.
