Literary House Guided Tour: 9 AM
Join us for an morning guided tour of the historic house.
An exclusive opportunity to visit the museum out-of-hours. Moving though the rooms of Charles Dickens's home, laid out as it would have been while the Dickens family resided here.
Of the various London homes Charles Dickens occupied during his literary career, only one house remains today: 48 Doughty Street.
This was the author's first house, and Dickens lived here with his family for nearly three years, years that changed his life profoundly. During this time, he finished The Pickwick Papers, wrote Oliver Twist, and Nicholas Nickleby, started work on Barnaby Rudge and continued his work as an investigative journalist and social reform campaigner.
Dicken - then still in his mid twenties - also led an active social life and surrounded himself with some of the greatest actors, writers and society figures of the age. When he moved here in early 1837 he was still relatively unknown, by the time he moved with his growing family, to a larger home, his works had made the name Charles Dickens famous across the western world.
You will join a small group of not more than 16 people for a guided tour of this literary home. It will focus on the lives of the inhabitants during the time that Dickens and his family lived here, now the Charles Dickens Museum.
- Tour lasts up to 60 minutes.
- Tour guide is a member of museum staff.
- Max group size is 16.
- Purchase permits use of the cafe after guided tour but no museum admission after 10am.
- No concession rates are available for small group guided tours
