Charles Dickens Home - [Room by Room Tour] of Dickens Museum London

Charles Dickens wrote Pickwick Papers and Oliver Twist in this impressive London home. Join our room by room tour and find out what life was like in Charles Dickens Home.
The Dickens Museum has dressed the Georgian House for Christmas, like some something out of A Christmas Carol. It is a superb!
Dickens lived here for 3 short years and the home was saved from demolition in the 1920's. Since them the Dickens fellowship has lovingly looked after the museum full of his personal belongings, portraits and original manuscripts. The highlight for us was seeing the very desk he wrote much of his later works on, like Great Expectations and A Tale of two Cities and his final unfinished work, The Mystery of Edwin Drood.
If you are a lover of Charles Dickens novels and interested in his life, then this museum is well worth a visit. You can find out full details and booking information at:-

I’ve loved Mr. Dickens since I was a boy and first saw Oliver! at the movies in 1968. I finally visited England in 2017 and went to this house. I don’t think anyone really understands, but it was one of the best days of my life. I’ll never forget it. This video was like reliving that day. Thank you so much!!!

Glad you enjoyed it, very interesting place to visit.

[@jamesrobiscoe1174]

At 14 I was introduced to Dickens and David Copperfield by an English exchange teacher at my high school in Detroit, Michigan, and I became a lifelong reader. Dickens was a keen observer and satirist, though he could be a bit moon-eyed over female pulchritude. It once was my habit to read one of his books every year. He never fails to please, and I can't imagine my library without his canon.

[@nouellaanaso]

You must be very old. I enjoyed his books too

I love Dickens works but I do struggle with reading his novels. The length of sentences that are almost paragraphs is quite off putting. I will endeavour to persevere though, as I have all of his novels. The BBC here in the U.K. have made some wonderful adaptations though and I enjoy several dvds. A fine author, but not a very nice husband!

A big, hearty CONGRATULATIONS and THANKS to the re-booting of the Dickens House as the Charles Dickens Home !!! I´ve been visiting this place since I became a Dickens fan as a 13 year old in 1973 but, a decade ago, its atmosphere had become morbid and mausoleum-like - something which the highly jovial Dickens would have hated. Thank goodness that it is now full of its original charm and warmth as it celebrates what is probably the most happy and magical time of the great writer´s life.

[@MemorySeekers]

It was our first time visiting, and just loved the place, especially the setting of Christmas in the house it was just magical, and how I would dream Christmas should look to this day. Fascinating place to wander around and find out about Charles and his life. Glad you enjoyed our video.

[@MemorySeekers]

I looks a lovely house, must get down there!

[@ellennewth6305]

I remember seeing Dickens home when I traveled to London (from New York) in 1983. I began reading his works when I was 14 and never lost my enthusiasm for his phenomenal talent. I felt a tremendous sadness in the room where young Mary Hogarth passed away which I've never forgotten. But all these years later, I am still grateful I had a chance to visit this truly unique place.

[@MemorySeekers]

Hi Ellen, Thanks for sharing your memories of your visit. We’ve heard from a few people now who mentioned that they discovered Dickens at a young age and we’re hooked for life! Also great that you were able to visit the home & our beautiful city. We recently published a video about the life of Jane Austen as well as one about her countryside home which you may be interested in….her life story is also a little sad, but hopefully you’ll like the video! Cheers 🤗🌷

[@ellennewth6305]

@@MemorySeekers I just watched the Jane Austin video - and the room by room one one as well. Always loved her novels as well as those of the Bronte sisters. I noticed you also have a video of the Cotswolds - I got to see that area in person way back when I was 17. I've been to England twice and would love to back again someday!

[@MemorySeekers]

Let’s hope you’ll be able to visit again soon! Thanks for watching our recent videos! We’re considering visiting the Bronte home & finding out more about them, I’m sure they led an interesting life. We have recently returned from 10 days exploring the Scottish highlands, so keep an eye out for those videos coming in the next few weeks or so.

[@davidfaulkner8201]

Thank you for the tour of Mr. Dickens home . I would love to be able to go visit there at some point in time . He truly had seen what life was like on both ends of the social scale in Victorian Britain . He made that world come to life in his writing " dirt drudgery and the elegant " ! My favorite Dickens work is " A Christmas Carol " . I really enjoyed how they had the house done up for Christmas . Thank you again for such a informative tour .

[@MemorySeekers]

Thank you for the comment, I too love a A Christmas Carol. It was wonderful being in the house at Christmas and seeing what it was like. Would love to have a Victorian Christmas!

[@yvenpereira9219]

I visited the museum in 2014 and was delighted with everything. I was transported to the Victorian era and imagined Charles Dickens writing ...even though I didn't like his behavior with his wife, it's impossible not to recognize his genius.

[@hueydoc]

Yet we know very little about how his wife treated him....

[@randomroses1494]

@@hueydoc there is a book about her, I don’t recall the title but it gave a fascinating insight. She bore him a lot of children who he stopped her seeing when he threw her out so that he could carry on an affair with a younger woman . Her only apparent crime seemed to be that she grew older and put on weight as a result of all childbirths and was no longer attractive to him.

[@williamzona9773]

What an elegant house so magical dressed up for the Christmas season these houses were obviously built to last superior workmanship shows

[@ARIZJOE]

I visited in 2014, and touched Mr. Dickens' desk. I was gratified. During the tour, the guide offered a voucher for a free cruise to anyone who could name another holiday story besides "A Christmas Carol." I said, "The Cricket on the Hearth." He was surprised an American answered, and demurred, "Just kidding." I loved the whole thing, and was suprised that besides us two, there was only an Australian woman and her teenage son. Well worth it - the tour took you to many London streets where Dickens had grown up and worked.

[@novelist99]

A Christmas Carol is one of my favorite stories, and Dickins is one of my favorite authors, but he was cruel to his wife.

Most incredibly talented writers/authors originated from England, back then in history. And their stories are masterpieces and timeless and are enjoyed and interested by generations after generations. Jane Austen, Emily Bronte (the Bronte sisters), William Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson, and many more. England, congratulations for producing one of the finest authors ever to walk the earth. I love period England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

It seems that people physically aged faster back then, looking at some of Dickens' latter day portraits it is somewhat incredulous to believe or even imagine that he died at the age of 58 he looks like someone who was already in his 70s or early 80s (in terms of physical age), although ive read a handful of stuff about 19th century Victorian era industrial Britain of life and living conditions being quite harsh back then and that might somewhat probably contributed to people aging rapidly than their supposed actual physical age dictates or determined, anyway kudos for sharing with us this insightful and fascinating tour video of the house of one of the most critically acclaimed and esteemed man of arts and letters of Victorian era Britain and of literature at large.
