Charles Dickens set "A Christmas Carol" in London because it was where he lived and was familiar with the city's social issues and contrasts between wealth and poverty. London was also a bustling urban center undergoing rapid industrialization, making it an ideal setting to explore themes of greed, redemption, and the spirit of Christmas.
