Description

Benjamin Franklin House at 36 Craven Street in the heart of London is an off the beaten track heritage gem and the world’s only remaining home of Benjamin Franklin.

Today, the House brings Franklin’s time in London to life for visitors through the Historical Experience, Architectural Tours, and an engaging calendar of events. Our vibrant, free education programme allows children to discover Franklin’s science and Georgian London in the building or in the classroom.

The Historical Experience sees the eighteenth century space serve as a stage for a drama that tells the rich story of Franklin in London, whilst the Architectural Tour explores the Georgian features of House, along with its fascinating history encompassing Franklin’s long residence (1757-1775).
