The Charles Dickens Museum, London
I've written about the Charles Dickens Museum before on my blog, but that was before I discovered the video button on my camera! Still, it's a fabulous place, and well worth a return visit.
Here's the link to my blog post:
You get a wonderful sense of the man here, from the traumatic childhood which so influenced his writing, to the dashing man about town who loved a good dinner party to the social campaigner. And of course the writer. There's something a little mystical about seeing the actual desk where he wrote Oliver Twist.
It took me a little while to get into Dickens - I blame lacklustre teachers - but once I was in the right frame of mind I was hooked.
If you'd like to visit the Charles Dickens Museum next time you're in London, here's their website:

London walk: Russell Square, Charles Dickens Museum, British Museum, Oxford Street, Covent Garden
London walk from Russell Square to Oxford Street and Covent Garden
Join me for this walk through Bloomsbury – an area of London that Charles Dickens knew well – as we walk from the Charles Dickens Museum, through Russell Square and onto the British Museum, from where we take two separate walks, one to Tottenham Court Road and Oxford Street via Great Russell Street and Bedford Square, the other from the British Museum along Shaftesbury Avenue and through Seven Dials to Covent Garden.
This walk divides into four sections:
Part one is Russell Square Underground Station to the Charles Dickens Museum, via Brunswick Square and Great Ormond Street Hospital, circling back to Russell Square Underground Station. 25 minutes circular walk
Part two is Russell Square Station to Russell Square and onto the British Museum. 12 minutes
Part three is the British Museum to Tottenham Court Road avoiding New Oxford Street. 18 minutes
Part four is the British Museum to Covent Garden via Shaftesbury Avenue and Seven Dials. 16 minutes
The Charles Dickens Museum part of the walk is taken from Nicola Perry’s book 33 Walks in London You Shouldn’t Miss.
This walk was requested by Tina Kampouroglou who is bringing a group of students from Athens to London in April and is staying in the Russell Square area.

Non Touristy Things to Do In London - Dickens Museum and Foundlings
This is a very interesting area and a lovely place to visit for non touristy things to do in London like the Charles Dickens Museum and Foundling Museum, just a stone's throw from Lambs Conduit Street.
Dickens and his wife moved here in 1837 and he wrote Oliver Twist and Pickwick Papers here. They’ve got a bunch of his writing materials, paintings furniture and much more….
In Long Yard is where the original conduit was. William Lamb 1577 paid £1500 to renovate a conduit house in Snow Hill and water was fed off to here from a tributary of River Fleet, which people said tasted ok compared to the later New River which opened.
The Lamb Pub - from 1720 in named after William Lamb. It still has snob screens from Victorian times so you could drink without being observed by the bar staff.
Lambs Conduit Street itself is mostly independent shops cafe, wine bars. No chains. Partially pedestrianised and even the supermarket is run by the community.
Great Ormond Street Hospital originally only had 10 beds (1852) 1st UK hospital dedicated to children.
in 1929 JM Barrie gave all rights of his plays and books to fund the hospital’s research.
The Foundling Museum in Brunswick Square (Coram Fields) - In 1739 Thomas Coram, master mariner was appalled at the amount of children abandoned by their parents so he campaigned for 17 years until George II granted a royal charter for the Foundling Hospital.
Hogarth and Handel helped. Hogarth got people to donate art and Handal performed the Messiah in the chapel.
It became first public art gallery in UK and it’s now the Foundling museum.

Dickens & London
Dickens knew London like the back of his hand, and he used many of its sites in his fictional writing. This one hour program outlines a very brief early Dickens biography, and some of the London places that he incorporated in his novels. Many of these places, such as Lincoln's Inn Chapel, the Old Hall, John Forster's home, the Church of St. George the Martyr, and the Gladstone Arms Pub are still standing and very much worth a visit.
