Fleet StreetHome of the printed press since 1500, with many important links to Charles Dickens and locations from his stories.
-
Inner TempleLet's explore the area where Dicken's worked as a junior Clerk. From the mysterious Inns of Court he took inspiration that would later find it's way in to David Copperfield, Great Expectations, and Martin Chuzzlewit.
-
A Tavern with Cellars dating to the 13th Century. This Pub was a haunt of Dickens and a meeting place for the Hellfire Club. David Copperfield drinks here in the Novel of the same name.
- The first location mentioned in A Christmas Carol, and a major London landmark. We will walk by this incredible Cathedral and through the Church yard as we pass deep in to the old City of London. (pass by)
-
The Guild Church of ST Mary AldermaryThis ancient Church now houses a popular Cafe, and is still a working Guild Church right in the heart of the city. A perfect place for a short rest and a refreshment stop.
-
Royal Exchange Building LondonRight next to the Bank of England, the Royal Exchange is where the Ghost of Christmas yet to come takes Scrooge to see his colleagues discussing his funeral. The steps of the Exchange are the traditional spot where Royal announcements are made. Today you can cross the trading floor, but the bankers are long gone. Now designer shops, and Champagne bars attract the visitors attention.
-
Leadenhall MarketFeatured in A Christmas Carol, and most recently as a filming location for the Harry Potter Movies.
-
Let's get off the beaten path and head deep into the world of Ebeneezer Scrooge and 'A Christmas Carol' as we visit Scrooge's Counting House, the place where he took supper on Christmas Eve, and Charles Dickens favourite Chop House the George and Vulture. If Dickens was on this tour with us, he would be able to go in to the George and Vulture, find his favourite table, and even order his favourite meal. Not a lot has changed. This atmospheric old tavern was the meeting place of the Pickwick Club and is mentioned over 20 times in the Pickwick Papers. The equally unchanged Tavern round the corner, Simpsons is most likely Scrooge's favourite eating spot. Your guide will explain why!

Is this small court the location of Ebeneezer Scrooge's house? Let's examine the evidence.
