John Keats is famous for his poem about a nightingale, which he heard singing in Hampstead. Join us for a FREE hour of poetry to enjoy other famous poems about nightingales, skylarks and other birds! Also at Keats house will be an art exhibition inspired by the sound of nightingales, which have been heard again on Hampstead Heath last year!
