Dickens World in Chatham has just opened. It's supposed to be quite good, according the the reviews I've read.

Surely you mean Charles Dickens.I am sure there is a Dickens museum in the Rochester/Chatham area as he lived there for a while.There is a Dickens Museum at Eastgate House in Rochester and A Dickens exhibition centre at Chatham dockyard.There is also a museum at Broadstairs in Kent,and another in London.There is also his birthplace museum in Portsmouth.

Apparently, quite a tourist industry celebrates Charles Dickens' literary heritage with exhibitions in both Chatham and Kent as well as London (and numerous other places):
Google the words "Dickens Recreational Resources"

Ah, a Charles Dickens theme park! Where you can enjoy the squalor, filth, disease, crime, death, futility of life and inevitability of death which makes Charles Dickens' novels oh, so bright and chipper! Ride the bumper cars shaped like plague-carrying rats! Go down the waterslide into a real open sewer pit! Eat rotten food in the Food Court! Be chased by men with big spoons if you ask for more!
Visit today! Our pickpockets and footpads are standing by!

I'm really looking forward to seeing the exhibition. I just hope it is as good as I've been told. Rochester and Broadstairs have Dickens festivals every year where people dress up in costumes and do street theatre and reading - also good fun.
