Victoria RedshawMarch 8, 2014Lovely cafe at the rear of the museum. Very interesting museum with some items from Dickens' life. Rooms dressed as they would have been when he lived there.
Merve TosAugust 19, 2016Şahıs müzeleri arasında en beğendiğim mekan. Tarihte yolculuk yaparcasına bambaşka bir deneyim // so far My fave museum of personages. It's a time travel experience in history.
Naomi LApril 26, 2014The secluded garden is a lovely place to sit in the sun with a gorgeous piece of cake from the cafe, and you don't need to pay the entrance fee to enjoy the cafe and garden.
Shamsa AbdulrahmanDecember 1, 2019Worth a visit if you're a fan of Dickens work. A quick tour around his house gives you insight into Dickens persona & his writings. It shouldn't take you more than an hour and a half.

- DavidMarch 20, 2015Once a year they do a fantastic Gin tasting evening with London Gin Club. Nothing like exploring the house at night.
Time Out LondonMarch 27, 2012It’s easy to walk past the only surviving London house in which Dickens lived. You have to ring the doorbell to gain access to this unassuming townhouse. Read more
