Carlyle's House
Preserved in 1895 as London's first literary shrine, Carlyle's house was once a favourite gathering place for writers, including Browning, Dickens and Tennyson.
Historian Thomas Carlyle and his wife Jane – described by Henry James as 'a most original and entrancing pair' – were a celebrity couple who lived here from 1834 to 1881. A Curious Invitation salons take place in the intimate and historic confines of the Carlyle's drawing room, reviving a tradition of the gatherings that were held there in the nineteenth century.
