Hi, I'm Ellie! I'm an Art Historian and have been a professional tour guide in London for 7 years. I grew up in the south of Spain, but after falling in love with London and its history, I'm very much at home here. I have a passion for radical history and stories that are sometimes left out of the history books, and that led me to create, alongside my friend and colleague Charlie, Rebel Tours, an alternative way of experiencing London!

Tour description

Nothing says Christmas like Charles Dickens - A Christmas Carol is probably the most famous Christmas story ever written. And you might say that nothing says London like Charles Dickens, whose many characters, scenes and locations are inspired and set on the streets of the Big Smoke.


Join us as the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come, lead us around the capital to discover the real locations where the novelist worked, walked, and drew inspiration from. From the grandeur of the Inns of Court to the dismal and overcrowded slums.

What will we see?

  • Lincoln's Inn Fields and the Royal Courts of Justice - we'll see the home of Dickens' friend and biographer John Forster, and discover the novelist's connection with the law.
  • The Old Curiosity Shop - A well hidden treasure in London's alleyways!
  • Aldwych and Bush House - Dickens as a journalist.
  • Drury Lane - A surprising place for an old cemetery...
  • Seven Dials - Gin craze, slums and the dreaded Victorian workhouse.
