About this activity

You came to London to write, but the words won't come. Then on a foggy evening walk, you spot him: a man in a black top hat who looks impossibly like Charles Dickens. Dead for over 150 years, but real enough to follow. You set off after him.<br/><br/>This self-guided literary quest takes you on a walk through the Victorian heart of London. Using the Questo app on your smartphone, you follow the figure at 12 stops through Clerkenwell, Holborn, and Fleet Street: from the Charles Dickens Museum on Doughty Street and the buried Fleet River to Fagin's haunt on Saffron Hill, and Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, where Dickens drank with fellow writers. <br/><br/>Decode hidden messages, solve literary puzzles, and piece together the story of Victorian London's most famous writer.<br/><br/>Start whenever you like and explore 3.5 kilometres of London's most storied streets at your own pace. Best experienced during the day.<br/><br/>Perfect for history lovers, literature fans, and curious explorers. No knowledge of Dickens required.
