The Charles Dickens Museum immerses you in the life of Charles Dickens. Here at Doughty Street we encourage you to experience his life and to explore the house that became a family home to his young children. Feel his presence in the very rooms where he wrote 'Oliver Twist' and 'Nicholas Nickleby'.

See the desk where Dickens worked, imagine how he entertained his many guests at dinner, and be captivated by the letters, stories and novels that Dickens wrote. It was in this Georgian terraced house in Bloomsbury that he achieved lasting celebrity and universal recognition as one of the greatest storytellers of all time.

Walk in Dickens's footsteps and see how his many experiences influenced and shaped the characters he created. Discover how he became famous during his lifetime and why his work continues to be so loved throughout the world today.

The Museum is open Tuesday - Sunday and bank holiday Mondays 10am -5pm (last admission at 4pm)
