On Monday, December 10th, the Charles Dickens Museum is reopening in London after months of renovation work costing 3.1 million pounds. The goal was to make the home of the great writer even more inviting, as if he had just returned.

Visitors can explore the studio where Dickens wrote his novels, including “Oliver Twist.” There’s also the dining room (though it’s unlikely you’ll be eating off ceramic plates with his image), the kitchen, living room, and bedroom featuring a grand four-poster bed, along with portraits and personal items that belonged to Dickens.

The house museum, located at 48 Doughty Street in Camden Town, was saved from demolition in 1923 by fans of Dickens. Spread over four floors, it offers a glimpse into the author’s life. Admission costs £8 for adults, £4 for children aged 6 to 14, and is free for children under 6.

While in Camden Town, you might also want to check out the BrewDog bar for a pint.
