Dickens lived in Kentish town between 1837 and 1859, penned portions of David Copperfield and Nicholas Nickleby. '[He] may not have predicted the fascination with his ties to the seaside area,' writes Tom Chesshyre, who explains that the town is home to The Old Curiosity Shop tea rooms, a Charles Dickens pub, and Bill Sykes Cottage. But it isn't all literary Victoriana in Broadstairs, writes Tom, who advises visitors not to miss the town's surfing schools, the spectacular Palace Cinema, or Morelli's Gelato. Dickens' description of Broadstairs as "one of the world's youngest and freest little cities" holds true today.
