Charles Dickens Museum Review
The Charles Dickens Museum is housed in a former home of the great man and opened as a museum 1925. Many rooms have been recently refurbished to try to recreate rooms as they were when he lived there.
There is an audio guide available for a small fee, or you can read the information folders in each room.
The museum is on four floors so be pre-warned if you're not good with stairs.
I recommend you start your tour downstairs in the basement where you can watch a short film about Charles Dickens and his life in London. Work your way up to through the building then end with a trip to the shop on the ground floor.
If you can't make it to the Charles Dickens Museum but would really like to know more, have a look at their virtual tour.
