Taking inspiration from Dickens

Charles Dickens led much of his writer's life in central London, based at his home on Doughty Street. It now serves as a museum and an evening spent there was hugely inspirational.
    For Christmas, the team at the museum have laid the house out as if it was a scene from one of Dickens's novels. From the dining room to the servants' quarters, it's a beautiful sight.
    For anyone who studies Dickens's work or enjoys his stories, this place is a delight. For anyone who wishes to be a better writer, it's a pilgrimage.
