Located down the street from the London Postal Museum is the Charles Dickens Museum. The London home of Charles Dickens at 48 Doughty Street is now a museum preserved to look like it did when the writer lived there.
As you walk through the historic Victorian home, you can almost picture Charles and his family bustling about; his wife tending to the home while Charles wrote The Pickwick Papers, Nicholas Nickleby, and Oliver Twist inside these walls. We visited in December so it was decorated for the holidays.
Of course, there is a London blue plaque on the exterior wall.
The museum is open Wednesday to Sunday from 12-5 pm and adult tickets are £12.50. As a bibliophile, I loved this museum but The Husband wasn’t quite as enthralled.
Love this post? Say thanks by contributing to my book addiction. It’s probably time to read Oliver Twist again!
