Scrooge's London: A Walking Christmas Carol

Step into the atmospheric streets of Bank on a walking tour dedicated entirely to Charles Dickens’ classic, A Christmas Carol.

We'll guide you through the historic alleys that inspired Scrooge’s London, you’ll uncover the locations that brought this iconic story to life while discovering how Dickens’ own personal struggles and childhood experiences shaped its most famous characters. Featuring readings from the book along the way, this immersive walk brings the spirit of Dickens’ world vividly to life. A Walking Christmas Carol is part history tour, part storytelling, all jolly Christmassy goodness.

Bookmarked London is a collective of local writers and actors who run tours focussing exclusively on London's rich bookish and literary history.

All tours begin across the road from St Stephen Walbrook Church, and we conclude the tour where the young boy at the end of the story collects the prize turkey, Leadenhall Market.

The Christmas Carol Walking Tour is not an ordinary history tour. It combines the tale of A Christmas Carol with stories from Dickens' own life and how the two intertwined.
