A Tour of Dickens London with a dash of Dickensian Christmas

The Virtual Tour weaves an exploration of Victorian London with Dickens London Life and writing. On the tour we have a look at London at Christmas and the contribution Dickens made to it by his Christmas Books.

Dickens writing always had a moral element as exemplified by his Christmas Books. 'Christmas Carol' was based on redemption and his second great Christmas Book 'The Chimes' on the renewal that the New Year encouraged.

We start in Southwark, visit sites associated with the Christmas Books and others and end at Staple Inn with the Christmas Book 'The Haunted Man'.

The walk is led by Kevin Flude, University of the Arts, Lecturer, a former archaeologist at the Museum of London and Assistant Keeper at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Author of three History Books.
