Where was Tolkien living when he wrote The Lord of the Rings??

Answer 1

Since you ask specific about The Lord of the Rings the answer becomes much easier. Indeed Tolkien wrote a lot on The Silmarillion starting as early as 1915, but you are not looking for this.

The writing of The Lord of the Rings was done in 20 Northmoor Road, Oxford, the home to the Tolkien family between 1930 and 1947 (before he lived in a smaller house nextdoors).

Built in the 1920s and sitting comfortably in the leafy suburbs of Oxford, 20 Northmoor Road is a large, but unassuming property.

This house is considered to be as the place where Tolkien wrote The Hobbit and virtually all of The Lord of the Rings. He wrote mainly in the drawing room.

Then he moved to 3 Manor Rd in Oxford where Tolkien and his wife lived from 1947 to 1950. The house belonged to Merton college (think it still does). And then to 99 Holywell Street, another house that belonged to Merton, where he lived from 1950 to 1954.

Tolkien hated the cramped, utterly plain row house on Manor Road, where he twice typed out the entire "Lord of the Rings" while sitting on a bed in the attic.

Tolkien saved his worst condemnation for the noise and stench of traffic near his Holywell Street cottage, calling it "Mordor in our midst." But Tolkien had happy memories of his days on Northmoor Road, where he lived in two homes for a total of 23 years. It was at 20 Northmoor Road where he first daydreamed of hobbits and wrote The Lord of the Rings.
