Charles Dickens Home - [Room by Room Tour] of Dickens Museum London

Charles Dickens wrote Pickwick Papers and Oliver Twist in this impressive London home. Join our room by room tour and find out what life was like in Charles Dickens Home.
The Dickens Museum has dressed the Georgian House for Christmas, like some something out of A Christmas Carol. It is a superb!
Dickens lived here for 3 short years and the home was saved from demolition in the 1920's. Since them the Dickens fellowship has lovingly looked after the museum full of his personal belongings, portraits and original manuscripts. The highlight for us was seeing the very desk he wrote much of his later works on, like Great Expectations and A Tale of two Cities and his final unfinished work, The Mystery of Edwin Drood.
If you are a lover of Charles Dickens novels and interested in his life, then this museum is well worth a visit. You can find out full details and booking information at:-

    At 14 I was introduced to Dickens and David Copperfield by an English exchange teacher at my high school in Detroit, Michigan, and I became a lifelong reader. Dickens was a keen observer and satirist, though he could be a bit moon-eyed over female pulchritude. It once was my habit to read one of his books every year. He never fails to please, and I can't imagine my library without his canon.

    I love Dickens works but I do struggle with reading his novels. The length of sentences that are almost paragraphs is quite off putting. I will endeavour to persevere though, as I have all of his novels. The BBC here in the U.K. have made some wonderful adaptations though and I enjoy several dvds. A fine author, but not a very nice husband!

    A big, hearty CONGRATULATIONS and THANKS to the re-booting of the Dickens House as the Charles Dickens Home !!! I´ve been visiting this place since I became a Dickens fan as a 13 year old in 1973 but, a decade ago, its atmosphere had become morbid and mausoleum-like - something which the highly jovial Dickens would have hated. Thank goodness that it is now full of its original charm and warmth as it celebrates what is probably the most happy and magical time of the great writer´s life.

I felt a tremendous sadness in the room where young Mary Hogarth passed away which I've never forgotten. But all these years later, I am still grateful I had a chance to visit this truly unique place.

Also great that you were able to visit the home & our beautiful city.

    I visited in 2014, and touched Mr. Dickens' desk. I was gratified. During the tour, the guide offered a voucher for a free cruise to anyone who could name another holiday story besides "A Christmas Carol." I said, "The Cricket on the Hearth." He was surprised an American answered, and demurred, "Just kidding." I loved the whole thing, and was suprised that besides us two, there was only an Australian woman and her teenage son. Well worth it - the tour took you to many London streets where Dickens had grown up and worked.

    It seems that people physically aged faster back then, looking at some of Dickens' latter day portraits it is somewhat incredulous to believe or even imagine that he died at the age of 58 he looks like someone who was already in his 70s or early 80s (in terms of physical age), although ive read a handful of stuff about 19th century Victorian era industrial Britain of life and living conditions being quite harsh back then and that might somewhat probably contributed to people aging rapidly than their supposed actual physical age dictates or determined, anyway kudos for sharing with us this insightful and fascinating tour video of the house of one of the most critically acclaimed and esteemed man of arts and letters of Victorian era Britain and of literature at large.

    I used to visit Dickens house a lot when I was a child, my school was close by and I also went to Coram Fields. I don't remember a shop in the 60s that must been a later addition. They've decorated since then, I remember it being dark and dreary inside.

Dr Samuel's house was quite nice too. It may be small compared to surrounding glass, office buildings but it's still magnificent. Need to try and visit Darwin's one day.
