Dickens Journey Quest Experience in London
Play a city game where you walk in the footsteps of one of Britain’s greatest writers, Charles Dickens.
You will learn about Dickens’s rags to riches life story and discover the locations that inspired his stories, from pickpockets’ lairs, prisons and courts, to historic pubs and hidden alleyways.
Are you ready for an adventure in Dickens’ London?
Highlights: Learn about Dickens’s extraordinary life, from child labourer to celebrated writer. Explore the once brutal and crime-ridden streets of Clerkenwell and the stately legal district of Holborn where Dickens studied and worked. Discover the darkened bars and inns where lawyers once jostled with scoundrels and Dickens met the colourful characters that would crowd his novels. Try a new type of experience, the perfect mix between a tour, an outdoor escape game, and a treasure hunt.

Charles Dickens MuseumPass-by Only
The Charles Dickens Museum is an author's house museum at 48 Doughty Street in Holborn, London Borough of Camden. It occupies a typical Georgian terraced house which was Charles Dickens's home from 25 March 1837 (a year after his marriage) to December 1839. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.
It was laid out around 1686 and originally ran further, along what is now the Man in the Moon Passage. John Rocque's Map of London, 1746 shows Vine Street extending from Piccadilly northeast to Warwick Street. In 1720, the main properties on the street were a brewery and a carpenter's yard. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.
This stylish inn dates to 1759, but its moment of fame came in 1838, when Charles Dickens changed its name to the Three Cripples and made it Bill Sykes' watering hole of choice in Oliver Twist. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.
