Charles Dickens Museum

Candlelight glints off quills and creaking floorboards speak.

Candlelight glows on creaking floorboards as you wander through the only surviving home of Charles Dickens. His writing desk and chair sit ready, a quill waiting beside ink; the rooms smell faintly of wax and coal. Here the author penned 'Oliver Twist' and raised his family, and guides in period costume share anecdotes and delights like homemade pudding. The house feels like stepping into a story whose pages are still turning.
