Thu, 22 June 2006  A walk round Bloomsbury starting at Tottenham Court Road Underground station (zone 1). The area from Tottenham Court Road to Holborn is known as Bloomsbury. We start by walking up Tottenham Court Road and turn right into Great Russell Street. Bedford Square is the most complete Georgian Square in Bloomsbury. We admire the bizarre church of St George, with its pyramidical steeple topped by a statue of George I dressed in a toga. The walk continues through the British Museum with its amazing new glass roofed Great Court (pictured) and into the old Reading Room. We pass through Senate House (University of London) towards Tavistock Square and Russell Square. The medical area of Queen Square and Great Ormond Street come next, leading to Doughty Street and the Dickens House Museum. This is one of many associations with Charles Dickens and his contemporary novelist Anthony Trollope throughout the walk. We finish at Russell Square Underground (zone 1). Comments[8] |
