Charles Dickens Museum
The museum is situated at 48 Doughty Street, Dickens’s London home from 1837-1839.
This unspoilt Regency house is the only surviving residence of the world famous novelist, Charles Dickens. A museum since 1925, it was here that Dickens' reputation began to grow and here that he worked upon Pickwick Papers, Oliver Twist, Nicholas Nickelby and Barnaby Rudge and the last instalments of Pickwick Papers.
These were all works that assured his fame. Much of Dickens' life can be imagined here helped by letters, manuscripts, paintings, photographs, first editions and some of his own furniture. In addition the House is the home of the Dickens Fellowship, and its journal, The Dickensian, first issued in 1905.
