Summary

Description

Hidden within the City of Westminster, nearby Trafalgar Square is 36 Craven Street. Former home to Benjamin Franklin (on of the American Founding Fathers) - who lived here from 1757 - 1775.

It is a Grade I listed building. It dates from 1730. Opened as a museum in 2006. I enjoyed my visit here.

It has a Historical Experience, where you watch videos on walls, with a woman dressed as Polly Hewson, daughter of Franklin's landlady who becomes a "second daughter" to Franklin.
