- Charles Dickens wrote Pickwick Papers and Oliver Twist in this impressive London home. Join our room by room tour and find out what life was like in Charles Dickens Home.
The Dickens Museum has dressed the Georgian House for Christmas, like some something out of A Christmas Carol. It is a superb!
Dickens lived here for 3 short years and the home was saved from demolition in the 1920's. Since them the Dickens fellowship has lovingly looked after the museum full of his personal belongings, portraits and original manuscripts. The highlight for us was seeing the very desk he wrote much of his later works on, like Great Expectations and A Tale of two Cities and his final unfinished work, The Mystery of Edwin Drood.
If you are a lover of Charles Dickens novels and interested in his life, then this museum is well worth a visit. You can find out full details and booking information at:-

Hello fellow Memoryseekers, we hope you enjoy this festive look around the fascinating London home of Charles Dickens. It really got us in the christmas mood! Would you like a Victorian Christmas? Let us know.
Great video tour! Thank you!
Wonderful presentation . God bless you .
Brilliant!
Yes pls
What an excellent video. I’ve been a big lover of Dickens and his books. I’ve collected more than 20 books of Dickens. I’ll come and visit his museum, hopefully soon!
I have a full collection of first editions of Charles Dickens' work .... my pride and joy!
Wow how lucky are you. Very nice 👍
There must be a good story behind that fact 👍
Oh that's awesome! I was acquainted with his grandson (I actually think great grandson) and his wife Lesa in Berlin, Germany. They were lovely people.
Insure them quickly!!!
You lucky lucky person
I’ve loved Mr. Dickens since I was a boy and first saw Oliver! at the movies in 1968. I finally visited England in 2017 and went to this house. I don’t think anyone really understands, but it was one of the best days of my life. I’ll never forget it. This video was like reliving that day. Thank you so much!!!
hello lovely comment so glad our tour brought back some fond memories!
I went there today, I was blown away. I sincerely hope this place is treasured forever. Thank you for the video, it's fantastic ❤
Glad you enjoyed it, very interesting place to visit.
At 14 I was introduced to Dickens and David Copperfield by an English exchange teacher at my high school in Detroit, Michigan, and I became a lifelong reader. Dickens was a keen observer and satirist, though he could be a bit moon-eyed over female pulchritude. It once was my habit to read one of his books every year. He never fails to please, and I can't imagine my library without his canon.
You must be very old. I enjoyed his books too
@@nouellaanaso My years of thoughtful reflections on the process of cause and effect on every level of human experience finds me in a place of sorrow over the follies of humanity and joy over the endless well of love which continues on to heal our wounds.
I suppose you might have wanted to type 41 instead of 141, but if it wasn't a mistake as I thought, you must be really blessed to have lived so long and I wish you live the rest of your yeas in good health.
@@aderintoadebanji7374 What I wrote meant that at age fourteen I was introduced... Doesn't look that way, does it, I agree!
I love Dickens works but I do struggle with reading his novels. The length of sentences that are almost paragraphs is quite off putting. I will endeavour to persevere though, as I have all of his novels. The BBC here in the U.K. have made some wonderful adaptations though and I enjoy several dvds. A fine author, but not a very nice husband!
On a beautiful, snowy day here in Canada that was a very pleasant walk through a little of Dickens Life. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
A big, hearty CONGRATULATIONS and THANKS to the re-booting of the Dickens House as the Charles Dickens Home !!! I´ve been visiting this place since I became a Dickens fan as a 13 year old in 1973 but, a decade ago, its atmosphere had become morbid and mausoleum-like - something which the highly jovial Dickens would have hated. Thank goodness that it is now full of its original charm and warmth as it celebrates what is probably the most happy and magical time of the great writer´s life.
It was our first time visiting, and just loved the place, especially the setting of Christmas in the house it was just magical, and how I would dream Christmas should look to this day. Fascinating place to wander around and find out about Charles and his life. Glad you enjoyed our video.
I looks a lovely house, must get down there!
Charles Dickens is my FAVORITE author. I loved ALL of his books. Thank you for this wonderful video!!!
No problem lovely to hear you enjoyed it.
So beautifully shot! Very soothing video and I just love the interior of the whole house very elegant.✨✨
Thank you 😊 very glad you enjoyed the tour. I love the house especially at Christmas just magical.
Yes not ruined by ghastly music like so many you tube offerings...
@@hazelclose8800 A lovely variety of 19th century musical selections.
I am crying to my tears!!! Dickens books saved my life
Thank you , I visited as a teenager in the 70's to research for my history project, your recording is beautifully done and really captures the essence of his home
Ah thank you, we were fortunate to visit at Christmas, I think the house is at its best then!
I visited in 2014, and touched Mr. Dickens' desk. I was gratified. During the tour, the guide offered a voucher for a free cruise to anyone who could name another holiday story besides "A Christmas Carol." I said, "The Cricket on the Hearth." He was surprised an American answered, and demurred, "Just kidding." I loved the whole thing, and was suprised that besides us two, there was only an Australian woman and her teenage son. Well worth it - the tour took you to many London streets where Dickens had grown up and worked.
I remember seeing Dickens home when I traveled to London (from New York) in 1983. I began reading his works when I was 14 and never lost my enthusiasm for his phenomenal talent. I felt a tremendous sadness in the room where young Mary Hogarth passed away which I've never forgotten. But all these years later, I am still grateful I had a chance to visit this truly unique place.
Hi Ellen,
Thanks for sharing your memories of your visit. We’ve heard from a few people now who mentioned that they discovered Dickens at a young age and we’re hooked for life!
Also great that you were able to visit the home & our beautiful city.
We recently published a video about the life of Jane Austen as well as one about her countryside home which you may be interested in….her life story is also a little sad, but hopefully you’ll like the video!
Cheers 🤗🌷
@@MemorySeekers I just watched the Jane Austin video - and the room by room one one as well. Always loved her novels as well as those of the Bronte sisters. I noticed you also have a video of the Cotswolds - I got to see that area in person way back when I was 17. I've been to England twice and would love to back again someday!
Let’s hope you’ll be able to visit again soon!
Thanks for watching our recent videos!
We’re considering visiting the Bronte home & finding out more about them, I’m sure they led an interesting life.
We have recently returned from 10 days exploring the Scottish highlands, so keep an eye out for those videos coming in the next few weeks or so.
Thank you for the tour of Mr. Dickens home . I would love to be able to go visit there at some point in time . He truly had seen what life was like on both ends of the social scale in Victorian Britain . He made that world come to life in his writing " dirt drudgery and the elegant " ! My favorite Dickens work is " A Christmas Carol " . I really enjoyed how they had the house done up for Christmas . Thank you again for such a informative tour .
Thank you for the comment, I too love a A Christmas Carol. It was wonderful being in the house at Christmas and seeing what it was like. Would love to have a Victorian Christmas!
My favorite too, and David Copperfield and Bleak House.
I lived and worked in London for many years and whilst I visited so many places, I just never made it here.
I really am delighted to listen to your film and commentary. Many thanks
What a shame, glad you enjoyed our tour!
That was interesting. I so wish I could go there is person.
Great glad you enjoyed it! ☺
It’s awesome!
Thank you very much for this tour. Greatly appreciated
Very welcome glad you enjoyed it.
Watching this video will now be a part of my annual “Getting into the Christmas Mood” project - reading/watching/listening to A Christmas Carol always being a key part of it.
Thank you and Merry Christmas
Hello Chris it certainly makes you feel festive. Glad you enjoyed it. Happy Christmas 🎄
I have been lucky enough to visit this house 3 times. I first went in 1968, & last went about 30 years later. It is a lovely, large home. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it. Certainly a place you can go back to many times and still see new things.
How lovely!! This is something I’ll never be able to see and I appreciate the tour especially at Christmas. !
Thank you, so pleased you liked it. It is very special at Christmas ☺️
What an elegant house so magical dressed up for the Christmas season these houses were obviously built to last superior workmanship shows
A Christmas Carol is one of my favorite stories, and Dickins is one of my favorite authors, but he was cruel to his wife.
I was delighted to walk past this museum when I was walking in the neighborhood during a visit in August. I was thrilled and enjoyed it immensely. Thank you for the walk down recent memory lane.
Most incredibly talented writers/authors originated from England, back then in history. And their stories are masterpieces and timeless and are enjoyed and interested by generations after generations. Jane Austen, Emily Bronte (the Bronte sisters), William Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson, and many more. England, congratulations for producing one of the finest authors ever to walk the earth. I love period England 🏴
Excuse me, ma'am. I agree with your sentiment but Emily Dickinson was American. She was from Amherst, Massachusetts. Can't let you take credit for her as an American, myself! ;-)
Great stories are a human being thing...
Thanks for a befitting tribute to writer of masses, humans suffering,
I live in a commonwealth country and simply love the Victorian and Edwardian eras, (also am always quite aware of the shortcomings of those eras) and it has always been my hope to visit England. Your channel is the next best thing to being there. Thank you so much, the videos are wonderful!
Having a lovely time wandering about with the two of you. This evening I visited Shaftesbury, Hever Castle and the Tower of London, the last of which I spent a day at in the 1990s, emerging cold and depressed - unsurprising. You cover everything warmly and wonderfully well. Thank you! (Oh, and the music is most appropriate.)
Hello thank you for the lovely comment, so nice to hear you have found a good few of our videos to watch over the evening.
I visited the museum in 2014 and was delighted with everything. I was transported to the Victorian era and imagined Charles Dickens writing ...even though I didn't like his behavior with his wife, it's impossible not to recognize his genius.
Yet we know very little about how his wife treated him....
@@hueydoc there is a book about her, I don’t recall the title but it gave a fascinating insight. She bore him a lot of children who he stopped her seeing when he threw her out so that he could carry on an affair with a younger woman . Her only apparent crime seemed to be that she grew older and put on weight as a result of all childbirths and was no longer attractive to him.
One of the best writers in history. And one of those whom I enjoy the most. Those two things aren't necessarily always the same!
Charles Dickens King of Christmas ,I love him❤❤
😊
Yes! I would love a Victorian Christmas!
Me too!
I love this house. I could be very happy living there.
Us too!
Thank you! You do such a wonderful job of narrating.
Thank you kindly!
Bellissimo video grazie per la visione 😘
Sono felice che ti sia piaciuto, grazie per aver guardato.
I have watched this video before and enjoyed it again, it is a beautiful home, very homely.
I was there in 1982 and there was a letter from Dickens to the clockmaker regarding repairing that clock (having failed to do so the first time the clock was in his possession.) The letter was very witty and very pointed. Thanks for this so very much.
Very interesting, glad the tour brought back some fond memories.
I adore the shadow on the staircase wall
Piękne wnętrza. Pięknie zastawione stoły. Klimat świąt. Muzyka. Czułam się jak honorowy gość, który oczekuje na gospodarzy. Wspaniałe Pan opowiada. No i ten "jeż". Dziękuję i pozdrawiam serdecznie.
Jeż jest bardzo słodki! Boże Narodzenie tuż za rogiem, jest to bardzo świąteczny film i jak chciałbym, aby mój dom był ustawiony na Boże Narodzenie.
I was smitten by Dicken's writings as soon as I met poor little Pip. I have read most of his novels and have thoroughly enjoyed them all.
I'm American but I believe Dickens was the greatest Victorian novelist of the early and mid 19th century
Well, Jane Austen was also a magnificent writer, though less prolific.
@@brendareed8412 …that’s true, but Jane wasn’t a Victorian.
@@MoonSpinners You're right! Loling at myself!
@@brendareed8412 …😂 well I wanted to say Shakespeare was just as good as Dickens, but he wasn’t a Victorian either! So we’re as bad as each other 😂😂
i have those "Blue Willow" dishes memories of my grandmother when we lived in Liverpool 😊
❤😊
I didn’t start reading Dickens until I was 61. It was a goal of mine since I didn’t in HS and college. He’s my fav novelist. I mostly read history and non fiction.
Great infromative Vlog.... Cheers from Canada!🇨🇦👑🇬🇧
Hello thanks so much glad you liked it. Greetings from London
Another superb video! The low lighting makes it so much more interesting. Just enough info to whet the appetite and great videography! Thanks for your hard work!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I remember seeing the movie "Oliver " as a child, and being greatly affected by this movie, and that was how I learned about Charles Dickens, and eventually, his novels! Thank you for this most interesting and educational video! I learned a lot more about Charles Dickens today!
It was fascinating tour of the house and researching about Dicken's. We learnt a lot as well!
Thanks for the Great Tour🙏 What a beautiful Home🏠. The dishes and the clocks ... sensational . Greetings from Germany 🙋♀️🇩🇪🥰
Greetings from Georgia in the USA. Great tour, and your commentary was excellent. I have a trip booked for England if quarantine restrictions ever relax. As an Anglophile, I’m looking forward to going on many tours! You are so lucky to have such rich history to enjoy.
Hello from London, fingers crossed you can get over soon. What have you got planned when you arrive?
Also go to the Highgate Cemetary
One of my favorite authors! Really enjoyed this thank you ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good video. I'm in South Africa, Charles Dickens was one of my ancestors, and I wouldn't mind visiting that house museum.
Hello nice to hear from you in SA. We have a few other people that commented being ancestors of Charles. Lovely to hear and fascinating. Hope you do get to visit one day.
Loved this, you allow me to indulge my love of History, with places i may never get to see in person. Thank you so much. 😊🏴
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Agreed!!! They take us on wonderful tours with amazing information! Merry Christmas!
I love that they might have had a hedge hog as a means to control unwanted vermin in the PANTRY... That's such a lovely and unexpected bit of Victorian lore that's not GENERALLY known or talked ABOUT.
Loved all things Dickens but that about the Hedgehog is a SPECIAL. UNEXPECTED Treat... THANKS FOR THAT.
Thanks Marian, I never knew this either until the visit. 😃
Thank you for your informative and thoroughly enjoyable videos!
Thanks MemorySeekers. Always loved Charles Dickens and some of the writing reformers in the Victorian time
Marvelous writer. indeed.
I've just watched this for the second time. I enjoyed it so much. I wish I could visit it myself.
A real step back in time, it is certainly something to look forward to doing.
Yep just need to be allowed out!
the best tour guides ever! thank you so much. ❤❤❤
This was lovely thank you! I visited the house two years ago in the summer. Really enjoyed seeing everything dressed up for Christmas!
Ah thank you glad you liked it. I think Christmas is the best time to see it. Just feels more Dickens!
@@MemorySeekers so true! That's what my hubby said too😊
Wonderful, wonderful! Slowly catching up and so enjoying each vlog!
Enjoy!
A video I’ve watched and enjoyed many times. Thank you.
Great to hear Mary 😊
What a beautiful and welcoming place.
Christmas is my favorite holiday. This is so exciting.
Mine too!
Extraordinaire period Victorien!
A wonderful period in time.
Thankyou for sharing this wonderful video of one of my favourite authors. A little trivia my mother had used a copper in the laundry when I was a child back in the early 1970's.
Wonderful!, glad you liked it.
He was my favorite author in my childhood. I read many of his books and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
Thank you great to hear
Wow, very cool to see Charles Dickens home! Thank you for another great video. ☺️

Hi Guys, first time viewer here and what a joy to discover, I didn’t even know places like this existed. If I do ever get the chance to travel l’d definitely include something like this in my travels to see it at Christmas would be lovely.

Thank You for this, It made my Christmas.
Ahh that nice to hear!
I love all your videos. I always hoped someone would make videos such as these.
Glad you like them! Lovely to hear we are doing things people enjoy. Makes it worthwhile.
In my school, in the USA, Dickens was required reading. Although I was not stupid I was too busy having a good time to really get much out of his work. Shame on me. Luckily I rediscovered him as an adult and was especially taken with A Christmas Carol. Now I voluntarily read it every year.
Thank you for the video! It's really interesting and useful. Dickens is one of the favourite writers😊
A Christmas Carol was my first book 60 yrs ago and I still have it . Loved this thankyou .
My favourite book, a must read or watch each Christmas.
I visited here 3 weeks ago. It's fascinating.
Lovely to hear, you cannot beat a real visit!
really enjoyed this thanks
Our pleasure!
Thank you so much for taking me inside Charles Dickens house. So homely. My husband and I visited another one of his houses. Think it was Broadstairs. Not as nice as this one. Dr Samuel's house was quite nice too. It may be small compared to surrounding glass, office buildings but it's still magnificent. Need to try and visit Darwin's one day.
Hello there, so glad you liked it. We were planning to visit Broadstairs this year but apparently it will remain closed until next year. 😑 Off to see Darwin's house this weekend actually! Video in due course 😃
Oh that's a shame. Still, Broadstairs is the perfect place to chill. Oldie worldly and pretty. Look forward to your video of Darwin's house. Thank you so much
Sadly we were not able to make to Darwin's as we have an issue at home. Which was a pain. But we will reschedule soon!
Muchisimas gracias.
Enjoyed this thank you.
So glad!
Thank you for the video, really appreciate it
Glad you liked it.
Thanks for your tours. I calm myself down in the evenings watching them.
Glad you like them! ☺
Thanks for your beautiful video!
Our pleasure!
Wow I absolutely loved this.. I would love to visit his house one day
Make it happen 😁glad you enjoyed it.
This is lovely to see thankyou so much
Our pleasure 😊
Love your guys' video. Stay safe & Merry X'mas!
Ahhhhh Thanks Rebecca, you have a good Christmas too! ☺🎄
