Overview

This atmospheric and quirky area is tucked away to such an extent that many Londoners are not even familiar with it. You will see unusual architecture from bygone centuries in this "oldie-worldy" area, such as Temple Church, which has stood on the same site for more than 800 years. You may even see barristers going past wearing their distinctive wigs and gowns. For fans of Charles Dickens you will follow in the footsteps of the great writer, as your guide brings Dickensian London to life with stories and annecdotes about the author of "A Christmas Carol" and "Great Expectations".

Itinerary

1. Inns of Court
This unique walking tour covers 2 different themes which are intertwined, as the novelist, Charles Dickens, worked in the area of Legal London, and used the area as the setting for scenes in his novels. Your guide will take you through a hidden and wonderful area that is “off the beaten track”. Much of the area is pedestrianised and very peaceful. The walk is around the Temple area, covering the Inns of Court (professional legal institutions), passing their historic buildings with grand dining halls, chapels, attractive gardens, and quaint alleyways . Your guide will include several stops for external views of the buildings, which are still occupied by barristers and other legal professionals today. You will also see where Charles Dickens worked as a legal clerk. Your guide will show you where Dickens set the opening scenes of "Bleak House", the shop which was probably the inspiration for "The Old Curiosity Shop" and the site of Dicken's first home after his marriage.
