Charles Dickens Museum, Room Hire
Charles Dickens Museum, 48 Doughty Street, London, WC1N 2LX -
Up to
25 guests
Located in the heart of literary Bloomsbury, the Charles Dickens Museum is the perfect setting for an exclusive event in an enchanting historical setting.
An original Georgian townhouse dating back to 1809, Dickens’s ‘house in town’ is dressed in beautiful period style as if Dickens himself had just stepped out the door. The Grade I listed Charles Dickens Museum provides the perfect setting for an atmospheric dinner, elegant drinks reception, private corporate event or as a historical film location.
Spread over five floors, the Museum provides the evocative setting of an intimate Victorian home. Lit with candles, it can transport your guests to a time when Dickens would have walked the halls, entertained in the Dining Room, held court with his own guests in the Drawing Room and given life to his immortal characters in the quietude of his study.
Our Boardroom is available for hire and is ideal for meetings, conferences or for more informal events.
Situated within No.49 Doughty Street, this room can be hired for meetings, group work or other projects and can be supplied with projection equipment and flipchart.
The room can hold a maximum number of 25 guests seated or 16 to 18 guests seated at tables.

July 2024This Museum holds the world's most important Dickens collection with lots of items including manuscripts, personal items, paintings and other visual sources. The author’s only surviving London house, it’s a chance to experience what Dickens’s home would have been like and learn more about the great novelist. Lovely small museum with gift shop and beautiful garden with café. I really enjoyed wandering round the house

August 2024Really loved my visit here. Wonderful to see so many authentic personal items gathered in one place and not replicas, which is quite common to see in similar museums. Guides were knowledgeable and welcoming and the tea room was a pleasant oasis in the city.

July 2024Great little museum with friendly staff. The decor looks original and the signage is informative and clear. My only gripe is if there is a group being toured, there isn't room to read the signs.
