Wonderful London: Dickens' London Synopsis

Although many old houses in London are now torn down, it's still possible for visitors to go and have a look at some buildings connected to Dickens and his novels. The Old Curiosity Shop is still open at 14 Portsmouth Street. When looking at it, you can image Grandfather and Little Nell meeting in the doorway, and even Dickens himself walking out of the shop. Off Marylebone High Street the house where Dickens wrote many of his greatest novels is still standing, and so is the house in 48 Daughty Street, Bloomsbury, where he wrote others. Under the dark arches of the Adelphi you can imagine David Copperfield passing through. Famous places from the Pickwick Papers like the Cliffords Inn, the Spaniards Inn and the Golden Cross Hotel can still be visited. Outside the hotel a stagecoach is waiting. Suddenly several of Dickens' best known characters turn up and enter the bus: Grandfather, Little Nell, Fagin, the Artful Dodger, David Copperfield, Pickwick and Quilp. As long as London exists, the spirit of Dickens will never die.
