  • Inner Temple, London, United Kingdom
    On our journey towards the locations featured in A Christmas Carol we will take in some other Dickens sights. Let's explore the area where Dicken's worked as a junior Clerk. From the mysterious Inns of Court he took inspiration that would later find it's way in to David Copperfield, Great Expectations, and Martin Chuzzlewit.
    15 minutes
  • 145 Fleet St, London EC4A 2BP, UK
    A Tavern with Cellars dating to the 13th Century. This Pub was a haunt of Dickens and a meeting place for the Hellfire Club. David Copperfield drinks here in the Novel of the same name. Shall we rest by the fire and warm up with some Mulled Wine?
    30 minutes
  • Royal Exchange Building London, London, United Kingdom
    Right next to the Bank of England, the Royal Exchange is where the Ghost of Christmas yet to come takes Scrooge to see his colleagues discussing his funeral. The steps of the Exchange are the traditional spot where Royal announcements are made. Today you can cross the trading floor, but the bankers are long gone. Now designer shops, and Champagne bars attract the visitors attention.
    10 minutes
  • St Michael's Alley, London EC3V 9DS, UK
    Let's get off the beaten path and head deep into the world of Ebeneezer Scrooge and 'A Christmas Carol' as we visit Scrooge's Counting House, the place where he took supper on Christmas Eve, and Charles Dickens favourite Chop House the George and Vulture. If Dickens was on this tour with us, he would be able to go in to the George and Vulture, find his favourite table, and even order his favourite meal. Not a lot has changed. This atmospheric old tavern was the meeting place of the Pickwick Club and is mentioned over 20 times in the Pickwick Papers. The equally unchanged Tavern round the corner, Simpsons is most likely Scrooge's favourite eating spot. Your guide will explain why!
    15 minutes
  • 3 Castle Ct, London EC3V 9AE, Vereinigtes Königreich
    One of Charles Dickens favorite restaurants and Chop Houses. Mr Pickwick and his famous Club met here. As did the notorious Hellfire Club. The interior of this fine establishment is unchanged since the time of Dickens.

We booked a Charles Dickens tour with Richard and it was a highlight of our London trip. He really has a gift for blending history, geography, and literature in his storytelling.

This tour was by far the best experience during our entire stay! Richard was so knowledgeable about Old London and Charles Dickens he literally made the streets, shops, taverns, and buildings come to life!

Great tour. I can imagine it would be even better round holidays. Lots of good information about the history squeezed in with all the dickens info you ever wanted to know. Kids (9 & 11) years old are inspired to dive into their first Charles Dickens novel when we get home.
