Charles Dickens Birthplace

During your stay at Holiday Inn Portsmouth why not visit the historic birthplace of Charles Dickens; born in this modest house in Portsmouth, on 7th February 1812. The house has miraculously survived and is now preserved as a museum furnished in the style of 1809 which is when John and Elizabeth Dickens set up the first home of their married life there.

There are three furnished rooms: the parlour, the dining room and the bedroom where Charles was born. The exhibition room features a display on Charles Dickens and Portsmouth, as well as a small collection of memorabilia: the couch on which he died at his house in Kent, together with his snuff-box, inkwell and paper knife, poignant reminders of an author celebrated for his prodigious talents and creative output.
