Johnson Street

Somers Town. No. 13, where Dickens once lived, as indicated by a Dickens memorial tablet, is now known as" David Copperfield's Library," where the children of the neighbourhood are encouraged to read and study. In a corner of the yard is a copper just like the one in which the Christmas pudding of the Cratchit family was cooked. At the house opposite lived Dickens's girl-friend, " Little Dorrit."
