Streets of Dickens: Holborn, Hampstead and St Pancras
Charles Dickens was born on 7 of February 1812. We are celebrating the 200th anniversary of his birth with a free exhibition of photographs, illustrations and archives in our collection.
This free exhibition explores the many connections between the novelist and the area which today comprises the London Borough of Camden. Dickens lived much of his life in this part of London, many of his characters live here, many of his scenes are set here and his writing, both fictional and factual, contains a multitude of descriptions of the area as it was in his day.
