This guided walk takes us through some of the squares and locations in Bloomsbury where a series of outstanding individuals lived, worked or are memorialised

Fame comes in many guises and in this walk we come across writers, scientists, political activists, actors...even spies! From Charles Dickens and Virginia Woof to J K Rowling, from the conquest of malaria to covid, from the Suffragettes to Gandhi, from Anthony Hopkins to Tom Hiddleston, and from Anthony Blunt to Noor Inayat Khan. Just some of the creative characters to celebrate as we walk around Bloomsbury
