R.L. Stevenson House

HAMPSTEAD > BUILD'GS (L-Z)

Robert Louis Stevenson ~

From 13 June – c.11 July 1874 RLS and Sidney Colvin stayed in lodgings at Abernethy House, Hampstead (at the corner of Mount Vernon and Holly Place).

During his stay, RLS spent time with Leslie Stephen.

He also saw a performance of Messiah as part of the Handel Festival at the Crystal Palace ( on 22 June 1874).

From 24 September – early October 1874 RLS was in Hampstead again.

This time he stayed with Basil Champneys at Harrow Cottage.

Champneys (1842-1935) was an architect and author, and one of Sidney Colvin’s close friends.

During his stay RLS would sometimes go to the Savile Club. In early October, he visited a public house in Adelaide Road, Chalk Farm, NW3.
