Ebenezer Scrooge is a money lender – an early version of Wonga, if you will (minus the faux-cuddliness) – and when we first meet the famous miser, he’s sour-pussing Christmas Eve away in his dreary counting house. Dickens informs us that the 'gruff old bell' of a church peers through Scrooge’s window, and that his put-upon clerk, Bob Cratchit exits...
After shutting up shop, Scrooge heads to his 'usual melancholy tavern' where he tucks into a 'melancholy dinner'. Although Ebenezer’s local is not specified, a likely contender is Simpson's Tavernon Ball Court (a short stroll from Newman’s Court). Still open today, this is London’s oldest chop house, lining bankers’ guts since 1757.
Dickens describes Ebenezer's home as a 'gloomy suite of rooms in a lowering pile of building up a yard, where it had so little business to be…one could scarcely help fancying it might have run there when it was a young house, playing at hide-and-seek with other houses, and forgotten the way out again'. Going by this description - and the directions...
Scrooge’s woefully-paid clerk Bob Cratchit lives with his family (including, of course, the sickly Tiny Tim) in Camden Town – which would've been quite a commute from the City when the Northern line wasn’t even a twinkle in the capital’s eye. Today, Camden is one of our hippest quarters, but when ‘A Christmas Carol’ first hit the scene in 1842 the ...
There’s another unexpected 'Carol' link in Camden. Between 1978 and 2005, Jim Henson’s creature workshop was based in a warehouse on Oval Road and it was here that a number of puppets for the best adaptation ever – 1992’s ‘Muppet Christmas Carol’ – were lovingly crafted. The building’s since been transformed into a block of flats named The Henson.
When the petrifying Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come arrives, the first place the voiceless ghoul drags Scrooge to is the Royal Exchange, which was then the City’s main financial hub. Here, Scrooge is made to observe business associates blithely discussing his death, speculating that the miser is due 'a very cheap funeral' which they’re certain nobod...
When Ebenezer Scrooge famously awakens a changed man, one of the first things he does is to ask a passing boy to fetch a prize turkey and have it delivered to the Cratchits via Hackney Carriage. The plump bird would’ve been on display in Leadenhall Marketwhich was then London’s go-to place for all things fowl. Leadenhall is also associated with the...
