Information:
The Dickens House Museum is in Holborn, in the London Borough of Camden, and is the only London residence of the celebrated Victorian author, Charles Dickens, to have survived the test of time. The simple Georgian terraced house now contains the most significant collection of rare editions, manuscripts, original furnishings and paintings relating to the life and works of Dickens. Opened officially in 1925, the Dickens House Museum also hosts regular events and exhibitions about Dickens and his works. Although it was the Dickens' residence for a little over two years, many of his most popular books were penned in the seclusion of the home, including the final chapters of the Pickwick Papers, Oliver Twist, Nicholas Nickleby and parts of Barnaby Rudge. The closet Underground stations are Russell Square, on the Piccadilly line, and Chancery House and Holborn on the Central line. A number of buses also service the area.
