19th December 1843, arguably, a day that marked the changes in the way we celebrate Christmas in England, the day that Charles Dickens released one of history’s most influential literary works, “A Christmas Carol”.

So, how are we marking this occasion? In true fashion—by flipping the script. We’re exploring Dickens’ world not through his words, but through the bricks and mortar of historic London. And we’ve enlisted a secret weapon for the tour: Stephen Bull, or as everyone calls him, “Tiny Steve.”

Stephen is the newest member of the Unique Property Company team, joining as in-house technical consultant, bringing with him detailed knowledge of listed historic London homes, his specialist subject with experience amassed over the last 35 years.

If you have a few minutes to spare, please join us as we head to Dickens London, to saunter through the streets he knew, allowing us to appreciate the enduring appeal of Georgian and Victorian architecture.

However you’re celebrating this season, we sincerely hope you are enjoying London at this festive time. And as we approach the threshold of 2026, should you feel inspired by the idea of making a London landmark your home, we warmly invite you to get in touch. Stephen would be delighted to share the singular pleasure of living within a piece of history.
