This walking tour will take us to places that both inspired Charles Dickens the writer but also those real locations that shaped Dickens the man. All writers take inspiration from the people they meet and places they visit, and Charles Dickens was no different. His novels are so successful because he so enjoyed wandering the streets of London and picking up the rich details of everyday life.

We have earmarked this tour as especially safe during the Coronavirus outbreak due to generally quiet places that we visit where social distancing is generally not a problem. All of our tours are private so it is just you/your family and your guide. To make it easier and safer for all concerned we would suggest starting this tour a little later than the usual time, perhaps around 10.30-11am which allows us all to miss rush-hour. We are happy to still come to your hotel to meet you but for the moment we would suggest meeting us at the tour starting point. This allows you to arrive by a taxi or uber rather than public transport. Please feel free to wear masks throughout or at times during the tour. Your guide will also have a mask with them.

from the minute, we met Kevin, we knew we had a great tour guide. His love and passion for his native city poured from him and such an affable and interesting fashion. He shared many secrets about London and many secret little alleys. He told great stories that always had an entertaining and surprising ending. He knows so much and is willing to share everything. I would highly recommend him for anyone.
Super fun interesting great guide Kevin

We thoroughly enjoyed our Dickens walking tour. Our guide conveniently met us at our lodging and we headed over to Borough Market via the tube. We then proceeded over London bridge to the ancient city of Londinium. So many secret alley ways and twists and turns. We saw lots of Dickens sites and with a good side dose of the history of London and some famous movie scenes thrown in too. We ended at the Dickens museum and that was perfect. Our guide Kevin was enthusiastic and knowledgeable and really made the tour. This tour was so good I'd come back to England to take another one! We all highly recommend it!
Knowledgeable great guide

Kevin was a delight to hang with the duration of our tour. His knowledge, even with the small little details, was amazing. He loves what he does and you can feel the passion in his voice. Thank you for an amazing day. Highly recommend.

Stephen was an incredible guide! His passion and enthusiasm for history made this tour perfect. He took us through parts of London that a regular tourist would never see. His knowledge of Dickens’ history and approach to literature led us through alleys, to find old prisons and workhouses and even the real places that Dickens used as the basis for Scrooge’s home, Little Dorritt’s church. We did the long version of the Dickens tour…wear your walking shoes!! But please know that Stephen is happy to accommodate your need for a rest or a meal…or a quick diversion into a market or bakery for a treat! If you are a Dickens fan or history buff, Stephen Liddell is your man for an interesting trip through London. Look him up, tell him what you want to see and then follow him merrily through the city!

The option to meet at our hotel is why we chose the longer tour. Steven arrived early and took good care of us all morning. My husband is not a Dickens enthusiast and in hindsight it would have been safe for him to entrust me to Steven. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and saw places that Dickens wrote about: Marshalsea Prison and Little Dorrit’s Church were the most emotional for me but seeing where the young Charles Dickens lived while working in the shoe blacking factory brought me to tears.
This tour gave a solid and creative introduction to the London of Charles dickens. Kevin truly knows the streets of L on

I am a Dickens lover. I saw parts of London would never have found on my own. My guide was knowledgeable and interesting. One could tell that he loved sharing his part of London with others.

This is a must do/see for any Dickens enthusiasts. Our guide was charming, informative, and engaging. It was amazing to see places that were frequented by Dickens that were still open and functioning AND had survived the war bombings. We had a very enjoyable day. Make sure to wear good walking shoes.
Dickens would have loved it.

Our guide, Kevin, was THE BEST, knew his stuff. Met us right on time at our hotel and the tour started immediately. Down alleys, through parks, in and out of pubs. If you're a Dickens fan do not miss this tour.

Stephen was great. His knowledge of London is 11 out of 10 and he is very friendly. We’re big Dickens fans, but this tour is for fans of all interest levels. Also, he was very generous with his time, making several diversions from the route to see things we asked about and even taking us to a few new locations he had discovered a day or two earlier. That kind of attention makes the higher price of this tour worth it. We definitely plan on checking back in with Stephen when we’re back in London for one of his other tours.
