Charles Dickens Museum

The Charles Dickens Museum, operating since 1925, is located in a residence erected in 1801, in which the author of "Oliver Twist" lived in 1837-1839. The house has fully preserved interiors, with complete period furnishings and the largest existing collection of memorabilia associated with the famous writer. In total, the collection has approximately 100,000 everyday objects, furniture, trinkets, pictures and documents.

Charles Dickens spent only two and a half years at the headquarters of today's museum, but it was a very significant period in his career. At the time, he worked as a parliamentary rapporteur and journalist. At the same time, he published in his episodes his first novel, The Pickwick Club, whose success allowed him to devote himself solely to literary work. The novels "Oliver Twist" and "Nicholas Nickleby" were also created in the London home.

In addition to sightseeing, the museum also offers room rental, organization of corporate and occasional events, including "A Christmas Carol" which takes place every year, i.e. meeting the characters of one of Dickens' most famous works - "Christmas Carol". In the museum shop you can buy numerous souvenirs, among which the hit is Oliver Twist's cup and bowl with the famous text "Please Sir, I want some more".
