The exhibition has a variety of items - beautiful pictures, furniture and models, and some fascinating original manuscripts. There is also a 20 minute film - The Houseless Shadow by William Raban - which was inspired by Dickens' night walks. It's rather lovely and nowhere near as bad as the words 'video installation' might suggest!
Well worth a potter around for an hour or so, and although it's a ticketed event, at £7 it's pretty good value, especially compared to some of the other exhibitions currently showing in London. Word of warning, it's busy - though that may be because we went on a Saturday afternoon - but there is also the rest of the excellent Museum of London to explore. It's one of the few museums I've been in London and an absolute gem. Enjoy.
