A lovely little museum with amazing and lovely staff with lots of knowledge! I learnt a lot more about Charles Dickens and it was really cool seeing what his house was like and the furniture he used. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area. The gift shop is lovely as well and they have lots of his books of course!
This house is exceptional if you are looking to see and experience some of London’s Victorian history.
The basement level was really interesting and with some rather unexpected hedgehog facts (I won’t ruin it).
A fantastic visit much enjoyed by everyone.
Oh, and the gift shop is rather fab too.

It's very cool to see the actual home interior and where Dickens did some of his writing. The staff are friendly and have done a good job staging with mostly period pieces or close replicas.
Very informative and entertaining. A great museum to visit before Christmas to feel that extra bit of festive vibes. Worth the cost. Also a relatively good museum you can spend an hour in, and longer if you go to the cute cafe. ☕️
A must-visit for any fan of Dickens or Victorian domestic life. It's so well preserved and really helps illustrate what life was like for the greatest writer ever. The cafe in the basement is really pleasant as well.
An absolute must for any fan of Dickens. The house gives an insight into what his life was like once his works began to make money for him. More importantly, it gives a very real example as to how a middle class victorian would have lived. I was shocked at how much staff they had in what is, an average London home of that time before modern appliances.
The museum does have wheel chair ramps but it's over 5 floors without a lift so unsure how helpful the ramps are.
There is also a lovely cafe to relax and have a coffee.

An excellently preserved and restored historic rendition of Charles Dickens home he moved into in his early twenties with his wife.
The lower floors are most interesting as a period piece, with the upper floors showing more of Dickens character.
The next door house has been converted into a museum and event space.
