Dickens on the Strand

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Be it decreed that all lords, ladies and children shall come and celebrate the 38th Annual Dickens on The Strand, a holiday festival, where bobbies, Beefeaters and the Queen herself will be on hand to recreate the Victorian London of Charles Dickens. Characters from Dickens novels walk the street. Food and entertainment fill the area with sights and smells that take you back to another era.
