Benjamin Franklin House at 36 Craven Street in the heart of London is a heritage ‘gem.’ The world’s only remaining home of Benjamin Franklin opened to the public for the first time on 17 January 2006, Franklin’s 300th birthday, as a dynamic museum and educational facility.

For nearly sixteen years between 1757 and 1775, Dr. Benjamin Franklin – scientist, diplomat, philosopher, inventor, Founding Father of the United States and more – lived at 36 Craven Street. While he may have been in London as chief colonial diplomat, his time here encompassed much more than politics.
