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.

Madeline miller –
Incredibly informative and entertaining. Simon’s knowledge and enthusiastic personality carried us through an otherwise, cold and rainy day. As a Londoner, I saw places in the city I wasn’t even aware of. Thanks.
Rebecca eborall –
Another great walk. They never disappoint. Simon was excellent and very informative. As a Londoner I still find the history fascinating.
Pat O’Brien –
Did this walk last Christmas and could not praise it enough. Walking amongst the people through the busy streets of London on a darkening winter afternoon, it felt as if we had become the ‘invisible presence’ that Richard, our guide, so memorably evoked from Dickens writings. Magical.
Ginny Hall –
4th December 2022. Simon was our guide for the walk. He was amazing. His knowledge and repertoire were absolutely brilliant. We learnt so much we didn’t even know we didn’t know, we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the walk. Ginny and Helen
Helen Hemming –
Absolutely brilliant Simon
Rob –
Great walk, Simon covered everything from the Romans, to Dickins, to the Plague, to the Blitz. Very cold day, but he kept it moving and informative. I’m sure I learned more about Dickens and the London he lived in then I ever would have any other way. Perfect for a December Walk.
Nick McMahon –
Simon was our guide for the Dickens Christmas walk, and he was excellent. Informative and vivid, he paced the walk well and gave us a fantastic afternoon. We learned loads and it was great fun. Thank you, Simon.
