Charles Dickens Museum London
If you are fond of reading novels then it would be shocking if you have not heard the name of “Charles John Huffam Dickens”. He was one of the greatest novelists in the World. During his whole life, he moved to different houses but the only one that is preserved today is the building where Charles Dickens Museum is situated. Mr Dickens lived in this house from March 25th, 1837 till the end of 1839. In 1923, the authorities were going to demolish this building but Dickens Fellowship saved it by getting a mortgage from the government. An independent trust then established Charles Dickens House Museum in the same building in 1925. Later on, the museum was renamed to Charles Dickens Museum. Following is more step by step information that you will need while visiting the museum.
