Charles Dickens Museum
The Charles Dickens Museum is located in Holborn, central London and is one of the most popular London attractions with literature-loving tourists. The Charles Dickens Museum is also popular with students of Victorian England, as the museum is located in the home that Dickens lived in between 1837 and 1839.
London has a great tradition for writing and Charles Dickens was undoubtedly the city’s greatest and most popular author. The imagery from Dickens’ work is routinely used to illustrate the aesthetics of Victorian London. The Charles Dickens Museum is located at 48 Doughty Street. While living here Dickens wrote some of his most classic works, including Oliver Twist, The Pickwick Papers and Nicholas Nickleby.
The Charles Dickens Museum opened in 1925 and over the museum’s four
floors can see paintings, manuscripts, original furniture and rare
editions. The museum’s authentic setting is sure to thrill both Dickens
enthusiasts and those that simply wish to experience Victorian London.
