Literary London comes to life in Bloomsbury, the home of authors for centuries. Come with Sinead to explore beautiful Bloomsbury Square, the notorious "Gin Lane," the lovely Charles Dickens Museum, and a hidden little park with a dark and terrifying past. You'll also get a glimpse of the ill-fated Kingsway tramway subway station which has been used in modern times as the entrance to the base in The Avengers!
See where Charles Dickens wrote Oliver Twist and Nichiolas Nickleby, stumble across some curious street art, view a literal road to nowhere and visit the birthplace of body snatching with Free Tours by Foot London.

I was at Dickens' house in Oct. of 1986. We had a personal tour guide back then. I remember the narrow staircase. I was so fascinated with the inks and quills. I now have my own published book. My rough copies were all done by ink and quill.
Thank you for what you do.
I live in a small village called Creston, British Columbia, Canada.
Ink and quill! We LOVE that! Thank you for sharing :)
Thank you for this amazing tour.i love your stories, London has so much history to see.
It truly does would take a lifetime to get through it
Sinead
Born and brought up in Holborn... Orde Hall Street behind Lambs Conduit street from the 70s to 90s
Seeing Dickens handwriting was a great treat…
It really is!
I love this area. Thanks for the great tour, Sinead. You are AMAZING!
Thank you so much Sydney for your very kind words
What a beautiful area and a wonderful video. I always connect Virginia Woolf and her friends with Bloomsbury. I've never seen it before. Thanks so much! Fascinating!
Reading more about her presently
Fascinating group of people
My dear Sinead, what a wonderful tour... It was magnificent to see the Dickens's Museum and the graveyard... What a great job, my gorgeous dame in black! Thanks for your explanations and your kisses! See you soon, lots of love and friendship from Barcelona. A big kiss for you, Sinead, I ❤ you! 💋💋💋💋💋
Thank you Manuel for the as ever wonderful compliments
Sinead
Thank you Sinead, the history regarding the body snatching was so interesting, I love anything involving true crime!! I also love books, so a perfect video for me lol. Look forward to the next one. Much love from New Zealand x
Delighted you enjoyed it Karen
We certainly have the same interests
Sinead
Is this the same house that Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol..
Thanks for the tour of London .
From your friend in America 🇺🇲🇬🇧
The very one
What beautiful arvhitecture, Sinead. Thank you for taking me to a part
of London that I have not experienced before. Those lovely Squares and
townhomes!! Wonderful, as always.
As always a pleasure Lawrie
I wouldn’t be concerned about those streets being overwhelmed by tourists. 80% these days just visit for Instagram photos of themselves standing in front of an iconic London landmark, e.g. Elizabeth Tower (aka Big Ben) London Eye, Piccadilly Circus, Westminster Abbey, Tower of London and a few others. Thanks for the walk, a part of London I like very much.
I noticed this in October, just ridiculous behavior.
A true statement!
Sinead, my friend...tyvm for the tour, was very relaxing and calming....as always, you never cease to amaze me with you definite knowledge and expertise...have a great day and week my beautiful, classy friend!!!
Thank you Kandy
You’re always a pleasure

Hi Sinead! I'm glad you enjoyed the Charles Dickens museum. I did visit there too on o n e of my London trips over 10 years ago. One of the things I remember was learning what a copper was from touring in the kitchen area. I hope you do make time to visit it again
I absolutely will this was just a brief look
Sinead
I love English old style buildings around there and Thank you for filming and uploading the museum, garden and the streets. You're the BEST!
Glad you enjoyed it
Sinead
You are a star, Sinead. You were made to do this. TCB. 🌈🍀😎🏳⚧🏳🌈
Thank you sincerely
Compliments like these make the hard work worthwhile
Sinead
I went to the Charles dickens museum . It was very plain there were no displays like you saw . I was so overwhelmed to think he had actually sat at that desk and all the things on display . ❤️
Amazing to think we were in the same house as one of the greatest writers in history
I stayed in this area last fall and it was very nice to be out of a busier area. There were many interesting Blue plaques in this area also.
Love how accessible it was
Central London but less hectic , has a wonderful vibe
Sinead
Fabulous video Sinead thank you. I was in Bloomsbury visiting the British Museum and attended an event in Senate House last week . A lovely area of London and enjoyed Mildred’s vegan restaurant for dinner in Covent Garden ❤
Must check out Mildred’s x
I have stayed at the Tavistock hotel more than 15 times during my trips to London. Thanks again John in Chicago
John I’m beginning to suspect you know London better than me lol x

This is excellent, thank you so much. I am definitely going to the Charles Dickens museum next time we come. I am from Portsmouth and lived very close to the Charles Dickens Birthplace Museum. I've also been to Chatham and Rochester, which are full of Dickens history. Bloomsbury isn't an area I know very well, apart from the British Museum, so I'm looking forward to your next video!
Have a lot more stories about Bloomsbury
I will revisit x
Sinead

Thank you
Sinead
Having lived in Bloomsbury for many years, there is plenty of resource material available to create some very good videos about the literary figures and eccentrics who called the area their home for many years as well. May I suggest you start with the website of the Bedford Estate to learn more about the area? There are a few tours like yours sniffing around Bloomsbury now but yours could be the best with the more interesting stories than Charles Dickens who lived all over the place. But...the live Christmas Carol reading by candlelight there in the house you visited by is spectacular!
Hi Patrick
Thank you for these wonderful suggestions
I absolutely agree with regards to the literary figures and eccentrics , and am currently immersed in the world of The Bloomsbury Group by Frances Spalding
The beauty for me in London is the opportunity to at all times to expand my knowledge , experience and understanding of every corner of this incredible City and it may take a lifetime but in my opinion that is time well spent
I will revisit in the future and am always delighted with suggestions and recommendations from Londoners like yourself so thank you for taking the time to comment
Christmas Carol by candlelight hope to see you there
Sinead
