Dickens House Museum Doughty Street London
Doughty Street off Theobalds Road London WC1 2LX www.dickensmuseum.com
Charles Dickens lived at 48 Doughty Street Bloomsbury, an early 19th century house, for 3 years, during which he wrote in the house his novels Oliver Twist and Nicholas Nickleby. He also finished The Pickwick Papers while he was here.
The house is a well thought out museum devoted to Charles Dickens, and many of the rooms have been left as Dickens knew them.
There is a collection of papers, books, manuscripts and pieces of furniture all associated with Dickens and also First Editions of many of his most famous works. It is well worth a visit, especially if you are a Dickens fan.
Nearest Tube station Chancery Lane. Parking difficult.
