Robert Louis Stevenson mixed in London literary circles, and in 1886 he wrote the Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, a gothic novella set in Victorian London which follows a doctor from Soho with a split personality.

A nightmare at his home Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham inspired Horace Walpole to write The Castle of Otranto in 1764, initiating the Gothic fiction genre. Drawing upon gothic motifs, another Londoner, Mary Shelley, wrote Frankenstein (1819).

Horace Walpole, son of the first de facto first Prime Minister Robert Walpole, had Strawberry Hill House built in Twickenham in 1749, reviving Gothic architecture some decades before the movement began in late 1840s England, most notably with the Palace of Westminster designed by Charles Barry. It was at the home where he had a nightmare that inspired him to write The Castle of Otranto, initiating the Gothic fiction genre.
