This fine old house stands just off Gloucester Road in South Kensington, an area that has always been synonymous with writers and artists. Borrow spent a lot of his time out of London writing his travel stories and logs. However when he returned he loved Kensington and the vibrant people that it was home too. Borrow was famous for his writings about the world and had a close affinity with Romany Gypsy nomads who featured in a great deal of his best selling works.
