In the heart of Bloomsbury, at 48 Doughty Street – the only surviving London home of Charles Dickens – history came alive in the most extraordinary way as the Charles Dickens Museum marked its 100th birthday.

Yes, seven. As a writer and editor, I had one of those rare pinch-me moments, finding myself not only in their presence but interviewing several of them throughout the day.

This isn’t just a trend pulled from Pinterest. It’s happening in real homes.
