Charles Dickens Museum holds one of the most important collections of Dickens ephemera in the world. The Museum is based at 48 Doughty Street in Charles Dickens’s only surviving London family home. Dickens lived in this house from 1837 until 1839 and wrote Oliver Twist and Nicholas Nickleby whilst living here. We offer visitors the chance to step back in time and experience Dickens’s home as if he had just stepped out the door.
