All the delights and delicacies of a London Victorian Christmas with Charles Dickens‘s famous story A Christmas Carol as your route map and inspiration.
We’ll deck the streets of London with balls of jolly. Scrooge and Marley and the Cratchits… they’re all here. This was where Dickens’s imagination took wing and where the characters did their thing. And as we make their acquaintance we’ll spice things with warming seasonal stories of turkeys and boars’ heads, Christmas puds, mince pies and pantomimes; cards, crackers, Christmas trees and mistletoe.
Let alone the bells that rang out on Christmas morning to wake Scrooge up, a much-changed character.
CHARLES DICKENS’ CHRISTMAS CAROL & SEASONAL TRADITIONS – THE PRACTICALS
The meeting point for the Charles Dickens’s Christmas Carol & Seasonal Traditions walk is just outside the exit of Tower Hill Tube. Meet by the Tower Hill Tram coffee stall.
N.B. the walk takes about two hours and ends across the street from St. Paul’s Cathedral and St. Paul’s Tube Stop.

Jim Senior –
Great walk and topic. Richard was excellent. The only negative was that there were 30 people, which seemed a bit too large. Expected given the topic and timing. Would recommend tour and guide.
Vicki Ambery-Smith –
Richard III’s Christmas Carol walk was SO illuminating and entertaining this morning, I could happily have done it again. My friends, who know allot about Charles Dickens said they learned all sorts of fascinating details and enjoyed it too. Thank you Richard.
Mary Boole –
Every time I do a London Walk it makes me love London more, and this walk was no exception. As always, our guide was extremely knowledgable and conveyed that knowledge wonderfully. The link to A Christmas Carol was really entertaining and so appropriate on this lovely winter’s day. Thank you Richard
Chrysanthi V. –
Hands down the best walking tour I ‘ve had, didn’t wish for it to end! A combination of literature, history, geography, cinema all under the guidance of amazing Simon!
Sarah –
I went on this walk yesterday with some girlfriends. We were looking for something different to get us in the Christmas spirit. It was really entertaining and Simon was brilliant with his knowledge and stories of London. It really brought the Christmas Carol story to life
Sue –

Michael –
Richard III was our engaging guide on Boxing Day. He provided great insight into Dickins and A Christmas Carol while entertaining throughout. Highly recommend.
Eve Lee –
Richard’s lively recitation of numerous passages from Dickens’ work made this walk engaging, informative and unforgettable. Richard shared many unique tidbits from London’s history – and great insight into what The City was like during Dickens’ time. Doing this walk prior to seeing A Christmas Carol at The Old Vic made me appreciate the story even more.
Jim Weaver –
Excellent walk. Simon’s knowledge and delivery were excellent. There were quite a lot of people on the walk, 40+, but Simon handled it superbly. I learnt a lot about Christmas traditions and how they evolved. Very entertaining and great fun.
