Victorian London has been immortalized in the words of Charles Dickens, who set many of his famous stories in the city. But by the 1920s, the capital was already starting to redevelop and transform beyond recognition, with certain evocative locations being lost to time. Luckily, this London travelogue captures the last of the real locations that inspired the author’s 19th-century settings. These include the Old Curiosity Shop in Holborn, which shares its name with Dickens’ novel about an antiques shop; the Adelphi arches (now Embankment), where the character David Copperfield lived; and the site of the blacking factory at Hungerford Market and the old slums of Jacob’s Island from ‘Oliver Twist’. Characters from the books occasionally appear like ghosts still inhabiting these spaces. The film also features locations where Charles Dickens himself lived and wrote many of his works.
