A statue of the English Romantic poet John Keats is located in Moorfields, Moorgate in the City of London. It was sculpted by Martin Jennings and depicts a larger than life-size copy of a life mask of Keats taken aged 21. Keats was the son of an ostler at the nearby inn, The Swan and Hoop.[1] It was unveiled by Michael Mainelli, the Lord Mayor of London, on 31 October 2024, the 229th anniversary of Keats' birth.[2][3]

The circular base of slate around the plinth is inscribed with a quote from the fifth stanza of Keats' 1819 Ode on Indolence:

My sleep had been embroider'd with dim dreams;
My soul had been a lawn besprinkled o'er
With flowers.[1]

It was funded by Alderman Bob Hall who had previously funded the John Donne Memorial near St Paul's Cathedral.[1][4]
