During Christmas week, the museum is decorated in the style of Dickens's first Christmas here.
Description:
This early 19th-century house is the only surviving London home of Britain's greatest and most prolific story teller. Dickens lived here from April 1837 until December 1839, writing the final instalments of
Pickwick Papers, most of
Oliver Twist,
Nicholas Nickleby and the start of
Barnaby Rudge. As if that was not enough, he also penned several other minor works here. The house was opened as a museum in 1925.
