The area
Famous for its beautiful garden squares, Bloomsbury was developed in the late 18th century as a fashionable residential area and much of the architecture from the period still survives. The Victorian writer, Charles Dickens, lived at 48 Doughty Street , where the Dickens museum is now located.
In the first half of the 20th century, Bloomsbury was the home of a liberal-minded group of writers, artists and intellectuals, known as the Bloomsbury Group. Its members included the writers Virginia Woolf and EM Forster, the biographer Lytton Strachey, the economist John Maynard Keynes and the artists Duncan Grant and Vanessa Bell.
One of Bloomsbury’s most famous landmarks is the British Museum. Its collection contains over seven million artefacts, the range and quality of which are of immense importance, including the Rosetta Stone, the Elgin marbles and a number of Egyptian mummies and related objects.
Bloomsbury is also the home of several London University colleges, including University College London, Birkbeck College and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Great Ormond Street children’s hospital is also located in the area.
