Walk of the Week – Charles Dickens' Christmas Carol & Seasonal Traditions Walk

By Lwblog @londonwalks

Every Sunday we’ll pluck just one walk from the vast London Walks repertoire and put it center stage.
You can check out the full schedule at www.walks.com
But if you only take one walking tour this week, why not make it…
CHARLES DICKENS' CHRISTMAS CAROL & SEASONAL TRADITIONS
Tower Hill Tube (meet by the "Tower Hill Tram" coffee stand)
All the delights and delicacies of a London Victorian Christmas with Charles Dickens's famous story A Christmas Carol as your route map and inspiration. We'll deck the streets of London with balls of jolly. Scrooge and Marley and the Cratchits - they're all here. This was where Dickens's imagination took wing and where the characters did their thing. And as we make their acquaintance we'll spice things with warming seasonal stories of turkeys and boars' heads, Christmas puds, mince pies and pantomimes; cards, crackers, Christmas trees and mistletoe. Let alone the bells that rang out on Christmas morning to wake Scrooge up - a much changed character.
Guided by Richard III or Simon. The walk ends near St. Paul's Tube. A London Walk costs £9 – £7 concession. To join a London Walk, simply meet your guide at the designated tube station at the appointed time. Details of all London Walks can be found at www.walks.com
