Despite early traumatic childhood days spent in Southwark, Charles Dickens went there frequently in later life.....About this Event
Join us for a Valentine's Day brunch at 10.30 before the illustrated lecture with Guy Rowston (at 11.15am)
Charles Dickens' novels show that he knew the area as well as any cabbie. We hear of Shakespeare performed on horseback, the Gordon riots, Bedlam, a noteable hanging, Astley's amphitheatre, the South London novel Little Dorrit and a perilous ascent of the cathedral tower.
