The Ballad Walk of Dickens

The William Miller Collection of sheet music at The Charles Dickens Museum is a treasure trove of songs inspired by Dickens, his characters and stories.

Singer and researcher Vivien Ellis takes songs from this remarkable collection to bring the world of Dickens to life in the streets he knew. Starting at the museum, home to Dickens as a young writer, this walk will end at the Foundling Museum, a route Dickens regularly took.

Approximate running time 90 mins with a short gathering at the end to discuss the walk and ballads.

Presented by Bloomsbury Festival’s as part of the Strange Doings in London Heritage project supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

Please note: This is a 1 hour and 30 minute walk along the pavements of the area, pavements may be uneven or not have level access.
