About Charles Dickens Museum

The Charles Dickens Museum is an author's house museum at 48 Doughty Street in Bloomsbury, in the London Borough of Camden. It occupies a typical Georgian terraced house, giving visitors a sense of the kind of home a rising writer lived in during the late 1830s.

Dickens lived here from 25 March 1837 until December 1839. Though his stay was fairly short, the house is a direct link to the writer and a focused stop for anyone exploring literary London in Bloomsbury. For fans of his novels, it is a chance to step inside a home he knew well.
