About this Event

Photo: Marshalsea Pr*son Wall - © David Charnick 2020

The works of Charles Dickens are informed by his urban insights, founded on the observations of the journalist and shot through with human understanding.

Join me in celebrating the London evoked by an authentic voice of the city. Enjoy readings which give you the flavour of his London, a Georgian city being remoulded by the Victorians.

Meet me outside St George the Martyr, Borough High Street, SE1 1JA (across from Borough Underground Station).

The tour will take approximately two hours, and finishes by Bank Station, for the Underground and DLR.
