My daughter lives in the UK and owns a 2 storey 1700 sq ft walkup unit
which was built in 1860 and has been very well maintained and updated
through the years. I've never been there but have seen pictures and it
certainly looks nice enough and not the least "Dickens-ish"
 (She formerly lived in London in a neighborhood directly south of
Westminster and S of the Thames - her building was built in the 1930s
and some claimed the reason it was not bombed by the Germans is that
the design was unusual enough - basically 5 wings meeting in the
center - that they didn't bomb it to give themselves a landmark on
their way to Parliament, Westminster Abbey etc etc.)
