Although he only lived here for a few years, this is the only remaining house in London that Dickens inhabited. Not only can you go and see all the usual manuscripts, furniture and usual paraphernalia associated with museum houses, you can also actually hire the place for private functions. This must be the perfect place to hold a ‘Dickensian evening’.
