This Christmas season, Tim Kidd, local historian and Dickens aficionado, will lead this festive and historical free walk.
In celebration of Dickens's upcoming 200th birthday, the tour will include parts of Bankside that inspired A Christmas Carol and many others of his classics.
Learn about the site of the Marshalsea Prison, where Dickens's father was imprisoned for several months, and which provided material for the novels Little Dorrit and Pickwick Papers. We will also see one of the niches on old London Bridge that Dickens used to sit in to watch the sun rising and the steps where Nancy was overheard betraying Sikes and Fagin - with disastrous results for Nancy.
This free guided walk is part of our Bustling Bankside year of walks which take place monthly throughout 2011.
