On this day in 1784, Samuel Johnson died aged 75. He was born in Lichfield, but lived most of his life in London - he is buried in Poets' Corner, Westminster Abbey next to his former student, and dear friend, David Garrick.

Don't forget it's our monthly Dr Johnson walk today! Meet your guide outside the House just before 3pm. Tickets are £5 and the walk lasts just over an hour.

On this day in 1709, Samuel Johnson was born in Lichfield, Staffordshire. Famous for his ability to capture the human condition, 310 years later we can still relate to many of his works and quotes whilst navigating a very different life and world.

On this day in 1763, Johnson and Boswell met for the first time, in Davies Bookshop, beginning their famous friendship. Johnson said of friendship 'The feeling of friendship is like that of being comfortably filled with roast beef; love, like being enlivened with champagne'.

Join author Julie Peakman on Wednesday 13th February to find out more about love and passion in the 18th Century - further information and ticket are available here: https://t.co/Cw2yrgiEs8

"It is commonly observed, that when two Englishmen meet, their first talk is of the weather; they are in haste to tell each other, what each must already know, that it is hot or cold, bright or cloudy, windy or calm." Johnson, 1758 #snowday3 #StormEmma
