For fans of A Christmas Carol and the timeless world of Charles
Dickens, this is your chance to step straight into the spirit of
the season and walk through London as Dickens himself would have
known it more than 150 years ago. Join us for a festive journey
into the fog, the lamplight and the bustling streets that shaped
his imagination and inspired him to create characters as dark,
joyous and complex as Scrooge, Jacob Marley and the Cratchit
family.
Beginning at Farringdon Station, we will wander through the hidden
alleyways and winding passageways around Holborn. Along the way, we
will revisit the haunts and landmarks familiar to Dickens’s most
memorable creations, from Oliver Twist and Fagin to David
Copperfield and Sarah Gamp, uncovering the real locations that fed
Dickens’s fascination with poverty, generosity, wickedness and
redemption.
This is London at Christmas through Dickens’s eyes: atmospheric,
lively and just a little bit haunted.
