The discovery that as a young man Charles Dickens lived only a few doors from a major London workhouse made headlines worldwide, and the campaign to save the workhouse from demolition caught the public imagination.
Internationally, the media immediately grasped the idea that Oliver Twist’s workhouse had been found, and made public the news that both the workhouse and Dickens’s old home were still standing, near London’s Telecom Tower.
Highgate Cemetery’s Christmas talk by Dr Ruth Richardson, the historian who did the sleuthing behind these exciting new findings, presents this fascinating story.
Doors open at 6pm, and mulled wine and mince pies will be served. The talk starts promptly at 6.30pm and will last about an hour.
Adults £7; Students and cemetery volunteers £5. To book, visit our website. Tickets are non-refundable but, as a courtesy to others, please let us know if you cannot attend.

Over the years this orchestra has raised £70,000 for various charities. They are a group of brilliant musicians, many of whom could have become professional, but who chose another path. Since the very early days, it has attracted top musicians to work with it without fees, among them are Sir Colin Davies, Sir Andrew Davis, Imogen Cooper and Natalie Clein.
The concert takes place on January 19 2013 at St Michael’s Church, Highgate. It is an exciting line-up. The conductor will be Nicholas Collon who conducted two concerts at this season’s BBC Proms and who has just recently made his ENO debut.

At five years old, Andy began to recreate the classic 1987 action film Predator with his brother. This is his chance to finish what he started with the help of a theatre audience.
A masterpiece 20 years in the making, Predator uses some of the same naive techniques that Andy and his brother first used back in 1991: remote control cars, action men, puppets and imagination.
