Charles Dickens Museum

The Charles Dickens Museum occupies the only surviving London residence of the famous author, and it includes a treasure trove of memorabilia, including the portraits, rare editions, manuscripts and furniture such as the desk. It was while living in this house that Dickens wrote Nicholas Nickelby and Oliver Twist, whose success enabled him and his growing family to move to a more substantial home. Specialist tours and private visits can be arranged.
