From the Dickens House museum, head north to 96 Euston Road, the location of the British Library (tube to King's Cross/St Pancras station, Euston station, or Euston Square station), home of over 150 million items, including original manuscripts by Jane Austen, the Brontës, Lewis Carroll, Angela Carter, and James Joyce, among many others. The library also features stations that allow users to access electronic copies of rare manuscripts, including Lewis Carroll's original Alice's Adventures Under Ground and William Blake's notebook. For lovers of literature, there are hours of good, nerdy fun to be had here.

For more details about the library's holdings, a list of its hours, and more transportation information, see the British Library profile.
