Dickens was inspired by London and spent many days and nights walking the streets. On this walk we step back in time to follow the great writer’s footsteps. Stroll through the courtyards of Lincolns Inn where Dickens set his famous novel “Bleak House”. View a 15th century dining hall and a 17th century chapel. Hear how Dickens helped with the founding of London’s first and most famous children’s hospital. View Dickens’ home (from the outside), now a museum, and hear about his life and relationships.
