About this Event

Charles Dickens is London.

No author has explored and explained the capital in such depth, with such warmth, humour and empathy.

Dickens called London his “magic lantern”.

Ed Glinert, a Penguin Classics editor, author of Penguin’s Literary Guide to London, and the capital’s most prolific tour guide, leads this Boxing Day tour of Charles Dickens’ haunts around the Old Bailey, Clerkenwell and Smithfield, with excerpts from Bleak House, Pickwick Papers, Oliver Twist and more.

*This is tour is free. However the tourist board suggests a tip of around £12 at the end if you think it's been worth it.
