The London Of Charles Dickens: Mapped – not new, but new to me. An interesting mapping project of Dickens’s life and novels.

Charles Dickens is intimately associated with London like no other author. The city features in all of his novels, usually as the main setting.
Two years ago, we set ourselves the task of reading every novel and mapping their London locations. Here are the results. We’ve also included the many addresses that Dickens called home, so you can see how his novels often feature those areas he was most familiar with.
