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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.
