Şahıs müzeleri arasında en beğendiğim mekan. Tarihte yolculuk yaparcasına bambaşka bir deneyim // so far My fave museum of personages. It's a time travel experience in history.

Worth a visit if you're a fan of Dickens work. A quick tour around his house gives you insight into Dickens persona & his writings . It shouldn't take you more than an hour and a half.

The secluded garden is a lovely place to sit in the sun with a gorgeous piece of cake from the cafe , and you don't need to pay the entrance fee to enjoy the cafe and garden .

Victoria Redshaw

Lovely cafe at the rear of the museum . Very interesting museum with some items from Dickens ' life. Rooms dressed as they would have been when he lived there.

Once a year they do a fantastic Gin tasting evening with London Gin Club. Nothing like exploring the house at night.

Eugene Fridman

A quaint museum in the house where Dickens lived for two years with a very informative audio guide, leading through Dickens ’ life.

Fabulous Gin tasting here tonight. Fascinating house. A must for all Dickens fans .

Bobby Kennedy

More a preserved house that dickens lived in rather than a museum . Only one small display on a single foot dealing with his writing career directly.

Amazing experience to visit the home of the genius ❤️❤️

They offer gluten free cakes at their cafe in the back of the house.

It’s easy to walk past the only surviving London house in which Dickens lived. You have to ring the doorbell to gain access to this unassuming townhouse. Read more

Amazing place and it’s a must if you visit London! You can spend hours & hours inside so plan well if you are time poor. Worth to hire the audio as it can be really crowded to get too close. - Maria
