Benjamin Franklin House
The world’s only surviving home of Benjamin Franklin.
London WC2N 5NF
Benjamin Franklin House at 36 Craven Street is the world’s only remaining home of the founding father. For nearly sixteen years between 1757 and 1775, Dr Benjamin Franklin – scientist, diplomat, philosopher, inventor, and Founding Father of the United States – lived behind these doors.
Built circa 1730, today it is a dynamic museum and educational facility. The various rooms in the house and courtyard play host to a wide range of small events from memorable receptions, lectures, meetings, photoshoots, filming projects, product launches to private dinners in our exquisite eighteenth-century setting!
The House is available for evening hire and daytime hire.
Please phone 0207 839 2006 or email [email protected] to discuss your event and to arrange a free site visit.
