An hour long walking tour of the historic Rugby Estate and surrounding areas, exploring famous residents and connections with the Bloomsbury Set.

Rugby School was founded in 1567 by Lawrence Sheriff, a Rugby born grocer and purveyor of spices to Queen Elizabeth I. On his death, Lawrence Sheriff left provision for the foundation of Rugby School in the form of an 8 acre pasture of land in Bloomsbury.

200 years later, Rugby Estate is a rarity, snuggly nestled in the concrete metropolis of London. Join us to learn more about the area on this free walking tour.
