Story · Charles Dickens Museum

You're standing on Doughty Street, outside number 48. This Georgian terraced house might look perfectly ordinary, but Charles Dickens lived here. Take a look along the street. In the nineteenth century this was an exclusive address, with gates at both ends and porters deciding who could come in.
