As the title suggests, Dickens and London is a major exhibition exploring the relationship between the great novelist Charles Dickens and the city he lived in.
Taking place, appropriately enough, at the Museum of London, the show includes painting, photography, costumes and a whole array of objects that examine the social and political context in which Dickens set his evocative novels.
The Museum has also launched a kind of virtual Dickens book club across Facebook and Twitter.
Until 10.06.12.
