People have written that, in Dickens' books, London is a character in its own right. London interacts with other characters, and moves the story forward.

That being the case, it makes absolute sense that people would want to visit the locations associated with the books.

‘Dickensland’ is an entertaining tour of such sites…whether they are real or fake.
