Borough High Street near White Hart Yard.
Nothing, save the name of the yard, survives of what was, until its demolition in 1889, the largest of the coaching inns that lined Borough High Street. It was to the White Hart Inn that Mr Pickwick followed Alfred Jingle and Rachel Wardle, following their elopement, and in so doing first met with Sam Weller in Pickwick Papers.

Dickens was haunted by Marshalsea Prison. It dominates Little Dorrit, the heroine of which is a debtor’s daughter, born and raised within its confines. And Dickens was speaking from personal experience when he wrote about ‘the games of the prison children as they whooped and ran, and played at hide-and-seek, and made the iron bars of the inner gateway “Home”’. He wrote in the same novel that the Marshalsea ‘is gone now, and the world is none the worse without it’. But, as he neared the book’s completion, spurred on by letters from readers of the serialization enquiring what had become of it, he returned to look upon what remained.

It was here that John Dickens was incarcerated for debt in 1824. Before being taken, he turned to his 12-year-old son and told him tearfully, ‘the sun was set on him for ever’. ‘I really believed at the time,’ Dickens later told John Forster, that these words ‘had broken my heart.’ Dickens recalled how, when he first visited his father here he ‘was waiting for me in the lodge… and [we] cried very much… And he told me, I remember… that if a man had twenty pounds a year, and spent nineteen pounds nineteen shillings and sixpence, he would be happy; but that a shilling spent the other way would make him wretched.’ Mr Micawber would later give the same advice to David Copperfield in the most autobiographical of all Dickens’s novels.

Little Dorrit's Church

I really wanted to have a look inside to see Little Dorrit herself depicted in one of the stained glass windows, but the church was locked (unlike the night that Amy Dorrit was locked out of the Marshalsea but was able to enter the church and sleep in the vestry).
