- Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese - This tavern, with cellars dating back to the 13th century, was a favorite of Dickens and a meeting place for the Hellfire Club. David Copperfield visits this pub in the novel. Shall we relax by the fire and enjoy some mulled wine?
- Royal Exchange Building London - Adjacent to the Bank of England, the Royal Exchange is where the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come shows Scrooge his colleagues discussing his funeral. The steps of the Exchange are traditionally where royal announcements are made. Today, visitors can cross the trading floor, now home to designer shops and champagne bars.
- London’s Original and All-Inspiring Coffee House - Let’s venture off the beaten path into the world of Ebenezer Scrooge and ‘A Christmas Carol’ by visiting Scrooge’s Counting House, where he dined on Christmas Eve, and Charles Dickens’ favorite chop house, the George and Vulture. If Dickens were on this tour, he could find his favorite table and order his favorite meal, as little has changed. This atmospheric old tavern was the meeting place of the Pickwick Club and is mentioned over 20 times in the Pickwick Papers. The equally unchanged tavern around the corner, Simpson’s, is likely Scrooge’s favorite dining spot. Your guide will explain why!
- George and Vulture - One of Charles Dickens’ favorite restaurants and chop houses. Mr. Pickwick and his famous club met here, as did the notorious Hellfire Club. The interior remains unchanged since Dickens’ time.
- Simpson’s Tavern - Could this be Scrooge’s dismal tavern?
- Leadenhall Market - Recently featured in the Harry Potter films, this beautiful market was used by Charles Dickens in A Christmas Carol. It was here that Scrooge sent the boy to fetch the largest turkey on Christmas morning after his transformation.
