Merry Christmas!

We’ll start with a brief overview of the Charles Dickens Museum and its history, before entering the ground floor Dining Room. It’s decorated for entertaining, and a gorgeous turkey sits on the table. Next, we’ll enter the Morning Room and see where Catherine Dickens liked to spend her time.

Then, it’s downstairs into the busy kitchen and scullery, where there are mince pies, Christmas puddings, and sweets to make, and a lovely atmosphere. We’ll talk about all of the labour required to run a house like this as we peek into the Dickens’ wine cellar and explore the washhouse.

It's back upstairs to the first floor as we step into Dickens’ study, where he wrote Oliver Twist and Nicholas Nickleby by hand! There’s even festive flair here in this room. The most breath-taking room is surely the Drawing Room, home to the Christmas tree and where the Dickens would entertain their guests after dinner.

Finally, it’s upstairs to the bedrooms. We walk through the master bedroom, the bittersweet Mary Hogarth Room, and finally, the attic nursery. It’s the perfect virtual Christmas tour of London.
