Dr Johnsons House

Tucked away behind Fleet Street in the tiny Gough Square, restored to its original condition, is Dr Samuel Johnsons House. Dr Johnson was famous for the many witty remarks that his biographer, James Boswell, recorded and published. His home for 11 years, it is now a simple tribute to one of London's greatest and most idiosyncratic men. The house contains an amazing collection of books including a first edition of the first definitive English Dictionary that he compiled (published in 1755).
