Fascinating house where the famous Dictionary was completed. Charming house in a tucked away location, very helpful and knowledgeable staff. A pleasure to visit.

A wonderful experience. There is so much information about Dr. Samuel Johnson. This place is a must for anyone with an interest in literature, the arts, and historical facts. Brilliant. The custodian at the door is so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We did want to leave him.
