Moorgate is the street in London, England where John Keats was born on October 31, 1795. When he was a child, he moved in with his grandmother in Edmonton, and eventually moved to London to work as a junior house surgeon at Guy's and St. Thomas Hospitals. Near the end of his life, Keats went on a walking tour of Scotland, Ireland, and the Lake District with his best friend and fellow poet, Charles Armitage Brown. A few months before his death, he was accompanied by another friend, Joseph Severn, to Rome, Italy. On February 23, 1821, John Keats passed away in Rome.
