Dickens knew Barnet and Finchley extremely well. He drank in their pubs, especially the Red Lion and the Green Man. He knew their schools, and wrote a savage article about one of them in his magazine, Household Words. He knew Barnet workhouse, and set a chapter of Oliver Twist in Barnet. He stayed in Finchley while he was writing Martin Chuzzlewit. Explore these connections, and others, on a guided walk with Paul Baker, City of London guide.
