Dickens House Museum: The Charles Dickens Museum in London is the world's most important collection of material relating to the great Victorian novelist and social commentator. The only surviving London home of Dickens (from 1837 until 1839) was opened as a Museum in 1925 and is still welcoming visitors from all over the world in an authentic and inspiring surrounding. On four floors, visitors can see paintings, rare editions, manuscripts, original furniture and many items relating to the life of one of the most popular and beloved personalities of the Victorian age.
Private Views are the perfect way to visit the Museum and enjoy a glass of wine in a unique surrounding. The Director or Curator will take your group (min. 10 people) for an exclusive tour around the Museum (45 minutes). After the tour visitors can explore the Museum by themselves or meet in the atmospheric library for a glass of wine.
The tours normally introduce the Museum and Dickens in general, but the staff are happy to accommodate requests for special Dickens-related topics.
The price per head is £15, which includes admission, the guided tour and a glass of wine.
