- Visitor Information
For those who can't wait for the weekend, how about a romantic midweek stroll through the delightful streets and garden squares of Bloomsbury? The area was a fashionable residential area in the 17th and 18th centuries and is renowned for its literary connections (former residents include Charles Dickens, William Butler Yeats and Virginia Woolf, who was an integral part of the famous Bloomsbury Group). But the area also has a long and diverse history that goes well beyond the elite circle of writers who "lived in squares and slept in triangles". This guided tour, which starts at Birkbeck College at 6pm, will explain how one of London's most romantic quarters came into being and how its social landscape has changed over the last three years. The walk's destination will be the London Review Bookshop where there'll be wine and a talk exploring love in the 1930s. Speakers include Professor Alison Light (author of Mrs Woolf and the Servants), Amanda Vickery (author of Behind Closed Doors. At Home in Georgian England) and Juliet Gardiner (author of The Thirties: An Intimate History, soon to be published). This is a free event but booking is essential so contact e.kitteringham@bbk.ac.uk.About London Review Bookshop
Opened in May 2003, with Alan Bennett cutting the ribbon, the London Review Bookshop is a welcome addition to the city's dwindling ranks of independent bookshops. Duck through the traditional shop front and, despite its compact space, you'll be impressed by the range of volumes on the towering, tightly packed shelves. More about London Review Bookshop
