Description: This private house garners attention due to its name. Charles Dickens wrote about his character Samuel Pickwick retiring to a small house in Dulwich in the Pickwick Papers.

It was renamed Pickwick Cottage around the early 20th century to fuel the urban myth, but is certainly very pretty to look at.
