Walk through the London of Charles Dickens, where the city’s streets, courts, and slums became the raw material for his novels. The route links the legal and commercial world of The Old Curiosity Shop, Holborn Bars, Lincoln’s Inn Fields, and Gray’s Inn with the harsher streets of Bleeding Heart Yard, Saffron Hill, and Hatton Garden. It ends at the Charles Dickens Museum, 48 Doughty Street, where his lived experience becomes literature.
