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.
Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese
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?

Informative tour through Dickens’ London with a well-versed guide. A great time even if you’re not a diehard Dickens fan, but quite out-standing if you are.

This tour was a highlight of our London Christmas Trip this year. Richard's ability to weave the story of Dickens childhood, the history of London during that time period, and the "A Christmas Carol" story was wonderful. If you get a chance to take a tour with him, don't miss. Thank you Richard.
