Chasing Dickens: A Writer’s Journey Through London

You came to London to write—but the words won’t come, and the nights grow longer. Then one evening, wandering through foggy streets in search of clarity, you see him: a man in a black top hat, with an intensity in his eyes that stops you cold. He looks just like Charles Dickens. You know it can’t be, but something about him feels real… important.

In this atmospheric walking quest, you’ll follow the figure through the streets that once inspired Dickens himself. Solve puzzles, uncover literary clues, and explore hidden corners of London’s Victorian past.

Perfect for curious minds, history lovers, and creative souls, this real-world adventure blends story, movement, and memory-making. Will this journey unlock the writer within—or lead you somewhere even more unexpected?

What a wonderful way to walk around the London streets and go to new areas that I passed by so many times. My only comment was a couple of the places were only able to go into Monday through Saturday and they were closed on Sunday. Which made the quest a little more challenging.
