Charles Dickens' novels famously chronicled the lives and dramas of a 19th century London in the throes of the industrial revolution, and his portrayal of slums and workhouses drew on his own family's experiences of poverty and debt. During his adult life, Dickens was to move address in London 15 times. This Regency house in genteel Bloomsbury, where he wrote two of his best loved novels - Oliver Twist and Nicholas Nickleby - is the only one to have been preserved. The drawing room where he held literary salons has been lovingly restored, and elsewhere you can view all manner of Dickens paraphernalia including personal letters and notes as well as manuscripts and first editions of his books.
