The Charles Dickens Museum can
be found at 48 Doughty Street in London WC1N 2LX. This is the only
surviving London home of Dickens.
The Dickens family lived at 48
Doughty Street between April 1837 and December 1839. This move was
made after the popularisation of The Pickwick Papers. He
published and completed Oliver Twist and Nicholas Nichleby
at No. 48.
As his family ( & wealth) grew
he moved to 1 Devonshire Terrace in Regents Park in 1839.
Unfortunately this house was demolished in 1959. If it were not for
the Dickens Fellowship buying the freehold No.48 would
possibly have been lost too
They have a number of events
such as walking tours and readings and workshops and exhibitions,
all designed to inspire. Even if you are not an avid fan you will
find something to interest you.
