Itinerario
Nel nostro viaggio verso le località presenti in A Christmas Carol vedremo alcune altre attrazioni di Dickens. Esploriamo l'area in cui Dicken ha lavorato come commesso junior. Dalla misteriosa Inns of Court prese ispirazione che in seguito avrebbe trovato la strada per David Copperfield, Great Expectations e Martin Chuzzlewit.
Una taverna con cantine risalenti al 13 ° secolo. Questo Pub era un ritrovo di Dickens e un luogo di incontro per l'Hellfire Club. David Copperfield beve qui nel romanzo con lo stesso nome. Ci riposeremo accanto al fuoco e ci scalderemo con del vin brulé?
Proprio accanto alla Banca d'Inghilterra, il Royal Exchange è il luogo in cui il Fantasma del Natale deve ancora arrivare a Scrooge per vedere i suoi colleghi discutere del suo funerale. I passaggi dello scambio sono il punto tradizionale in cui vengono fatti annunci reali. Oggi puoi attraversare il trading floor, ma i banchieri se ne sono andati da tempo. Ora i negozi di design e i bar di Champagne attirano l'attenzione dei visitatori.
Scendiamo dai sentieri battuti e scendiamo nel mondo di Ebeneezer Scrooge e "A Christmas Carol" mentre visitiamo la Scrooge's Counting House, il luogo in cui ha cenato alla vigilia di Natale, e il celebre Chop House, il George e il Vulture. Se Dickens fosse stato in questo tour con noi, sarebbe stato in grado di andare da George e Vulture, trovare il suo tavolo preferito e persino ordinare il suo piatto preferito. Non molto è cambiato. Questa suggestiva taverna era il punto d'incontro del Pickwick Club ed è menzionata più di 20 volte nei Pickwick Papers. La taverna ugualmente immutata dietro l'angolo, Simpsons è probabilmente il posto preferito di Scrooge. La tua guida ti spiegherà perché!
Uno dei ristoranti preferiti di Charles Dickens e le Chop Houses. Il signor Pickwick e il suo famoso club si sono incontrati qui. Come ha fatto il famigerato Hellfire Club. L'interno di questo raffinato stabilimento è rimasto invariato dai tempi di Dickens.
Era questa Scrooges Dismal Tavern?
Negli ultimi anni questo bellissimo mercato è stato utilizzato negli Harry Potter Films. Ma Charles Dickens ha usato questa posizione in A Christmas Carol. Fu qui che Scrooge mandò il ragazzo a prendere la Turchia più grande la mattina di Natale quando si svegliò come un uomo riformato.

Richard provides a tour that goes well beyond the inspiration for Dickens Christmas Carol..His account takes you back almost 200 years to many of the very images and places that Charles Dickens would have frequented.. Richard also provided a wonderful lesson on the Inns of Court and their role in the administration of justice emanating from the Westminster area …excellent educator…
Thank you for this great review. I really appreciate it, and I am so happy that you enjoyed the tour. Hope to see you again for one of my other London Tours.
We booked a Charles Dickens tour with Richard and it was a highlight of our London trip. He really has a gift for blending history, geography, and literature in his storytelling.
Thank you so much! What a great review, and I really appreciate you taking the time to leave it. I hope to see you again on a future trip. Thanks again.
This tour was by far the best experience during our entire stay! Richard was so knowledgeable about Old London and Charles Dickens he literally made the streets, shops, taverns, and buildings come to life!
This is so great to read Brenda! Thank you so much for this wonderful review. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas, and it would be great to see you again on one of my other trips.
Great tour. I can imagine it would be even better round holidays. Lots of good information about the history squeezed in with all the dickens info you ever wanted to know. Kids (9 & 11) years old are inspired to dive into their first Charles Dickens novel when we get home.
Thank you so much for this lovely review. It really means a lot to me, and I am so glad you enjoyed it. I hope the rest of your trip was fantastic, and it would be great to see you all again.
My husband was NOT looking forward to my choice of the Christmas Carol Tour in London, thinking it would be stodgy and boring. Boy was he wrong and he (and I) absolutely loved it! Richard, our tour guide, made this tour festive, humorous, and full of facts we never knew about Dickens, London, the historical times, and more, while showing us places old Scrooge may have worked and lived. Very fun tour - highly recommend Richard!
Thank you so much for this super review! I am so glad I managed to change your Husbands mind and prove your choice of tour was the right one! I hope you had a great Christmas, and happy New Year!
I’m sorry I don’t remember our guides name but he had a green jacket and grey bag and an umbrella. The tour took us through the most beautiful parts of London and our guide made The Christmas Carol come to life. It was amazing.
Many thanks William. That green jacket, grey bag, and black umbrella guy was me! (Richard) Thank you for joining the tour, and taking the time to leave your great review. I am so glad you had a great time. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!
Richard was an amazing and knowledgeable guide. He knew so much and showed us even more. I would recommend the tour and Richard anytime.
Thank you so much! What a lovely review. Pleasure to meet you and share this part of historic London. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas, and that my tour helped kick off the festive period for you! Thank you once again.
The tour and story telling by our host Richard were unbelievable. He was so knowledgeable and took the time to really make the experience amazing for us. I would highly recommend this tour and especially with our tour guide Richard. Just amazing!!!
This is so nice to read! Thank you so much for the great review. It was a real pleasure to meet you and your family, and I hope that the next time you read "A Christmas Carol" you will be able to visualise the places we visited. Hope to see you on a future trip!
Richard was a great guide and I learned about the great City of London Dickens sites, with an emphasis on “ A Christmas Carol” for the Holidays! This is an excellent Experience with plenty of walking. We visited a few Pubs as well, all part of the Dickens education. Cheers Richard, from Los Angeles!
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed your tour. Pleasure to meet you. I would love some LA sunshine right now!
We thought it would be interesting to learn more about Charles Dickens and see some of the locations from A Christmas Carol during our recent trip to London and this tour did not disappoint! Richard is an incredible guide and is so well versed in Dickens and London. I enjoyed hearing his stories not only about Dickens but also why he believed that the locations he was showing us were the actual locations that Dickens referenced in A Christmas Carol. Being on this tour really made me feel like I was experiencing the book - it was an incredible experience and I cannot recommend this tour enough!!
Such a great review, and very much appreciated! So happy that you enjoyed the tour, and that I managed to bring the book to life. Hope we meet again on your next trip.
