Wonderful place to know more about Dr Johnson. The staff there are all volunteers and the entrance Fees are used to manage the place.

Samuel Johnson, the writer and wit, lived and worked here in the middle of the 18th century, compiling his great ‘Dictionary of the English Language’ in the Garret. He is buried in Westminster Abbey.
