Went to this museum with a group of people and I have to say I was a little disappointed. It seems to be mainly centered around a shop, a cafe and a video about Charles Dickens. Over and above that there are a few rooms to wander through and a few things to look at but very much. And there... More

We stopped here after the fabulous British Museum because my highschool freshman son is reading Great Expectations and felt he had to see the museum. It is a very short walk from the British Museum and we made it before closing time. If you have been to Mozart's house in Vienna, this will probably pale in comparison as the society... More

Given that for most mortals times are tough and if you are planning a trip to the UK this summer you might want to investigate what the other great things there are to see. Well sadly and for some...
