About The Jane Austen EXPERIENCE (LONDON)
What you can expect
Step into the elegant world of Jane Austen in the heart of London. Just a short walk from Oxford Circus, The Jane Austen Experience in London invites you to immerse yourself in the charm, wit, and romance of Regency England.
With a delightful ground floor Gift Shop, and a permenant Exhibition due to open in Spring 2026, this is an exciting time for Jane Austen in London.
While Jane Austen lived much of her life in Hampshire and spent several years living in Bath - London held a special place in her life.
Her beloved brother Henry Austen lived here, and it was through his London connections that many of Jane's novels were first published.
Jane often visited Henry in London, exploring the theatres, bookshops, and drawing rooms that shaped the society she portrayed so brilliantly.
Building on the legacy of The Jane Austen Centre in Bath, our new Jane Austen London experience brings another chapter of her story to life. Visitors can step into Austen’s world through immersive storytelling, authentic Regency settings, and a curated collection of literary-inspired gifts.
*The Jane Austen Gift Shop is now open, with the full experience arriving in Spring 2026.
