In 1879 Keene removed to 239 Kings Road, Chelsea, which he occupied until his last illness, walking daily to and from his house, 112 Hammersmith Road.
In 1881 a volume of his Punch drawings was published by Messrs Bradbury & Agnew, with the title Our People.
In 1883, Keene, who had hitherto been a strong man, developed symptoms of dyspepsia and rheumatism.
By 1889 these had increased to an alarming degree, and the last two years of his life were passed in acute suffering borne with the greatest courage.
He died unmarried, after a singularly uneventful life, and his body lies in Hammersmith cemetery.
