I’m a massive Dickens fan, so slightly biased here. But this is one of the best museum experiences I’ve had. Every single member of staff knew their stuff and all went above and beyond to help navigate me and give me little insights into the life Dicken’s may have had here. And how beautifully kept it was. Lovely house, lovely staff, lovely area!
This is a really neat little museum to learn more about Charles Dickens, his family, and his legacy! I really enjoyed walking throughout the entire house, which was much larger than expected. What’s really handy is that they have a QR code with an audio tour handy to provide a voice over for each of the rooms, so bring along some headphones for a self guided tour!
I highly recommend coming here! It was very cool to see Charles Dickens actual house. It literally has the real Dickens family commode on display in the parents' bedroom lol. There are at least 4 floors. The kitchen, wine cellar, and "laundry room" are in the basement. You can download an audio guide to listen to while you walk through the house. It takes about 1.5 hours to get through the house but it depends on each person of course.There is a lovely cafe and outdoor seating there too. It's near Russell Square tube Station and about a 10 minute walk from there. It's also relatively close to the British Museum.
I’m so glad I squeezed in the Housemaid’s Tour. I felt transported to the mid-1800s as the entertaining and engaging guide walked us through the artifact filled home while narrating stories and facts. I particularly liked the dining room and loved how she said she would not go east of the house after dark- east being Jack the Ripper territory. I would recommend this tour to others as I enjoyed it very much but note: it is not wheelchair accessible. Due to many stairs, the tour is for the able bodied.
A home and a Museum. One is struck by the ordinariness of this home occupied by Dickens for two years during his early career. However, at the time this home would have been considered very comfortable. Best to go during quiet weekdays as the home easily feels crowded with even just a dozen people in it.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
For someone who knows nothing about Dickens and who never had to read any of his books at school, the Dickens House Museum was both interesting, informative and engaging on all levels. Having gone on a HOT day it was super cool inside and gave us good tape from the sun whilst learning about the ins and outs of his home as well as the great man’s life. Of most interest was the fact that his father ended up in a debtor prison and the impact this had on his life as a whole and his works. Definitely worth the visit, and not an over subscribed tourist trap, thank god!
When you visit the house that Dickens lived in and wrote some major works you get a real insight into his world. It's also a superb Regency London town house from 1805. A warm welcome from knowledgeable staff.
Wonderful experience! The museum brings you back in time and shows you how life must have looked like in those days. The museum also has a lovely cosy café where you can enjoy some nice refreshments. Definitely worth a visit! We enjoyed it very much!
Lovely little museum. Also great if your just interested in the architecture. Such a sweet house and filled with lovely illustrations and objects of note. Only down side was no options in the cafe for those that are lactose intellectual. But lovely.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
