Charles Chaplin referred to his home as Walworth or Southwark to avoid being misquoted by journalists as being from Suffolk.
Chaplin's childhood was poverty-stricken, including a time spent in Lambeth workhouse and Norwood Schools for destitute boys.
He initially performed in a clog-dancing troupe, but later found his passion for comedy, leading to his successful career in silent films.
