Bloomsbury walk with Robert Dunn

Around 20 people went on this fascinating walk around the squares and significant buildings of Bloomsbury, led by Robert Dunn on 26th June 2024. It was the hottest day of the year so we were all very grateful for the shade provided by the trees in the garden squares, as well as for the opportunity to learn from Rob about the history of the area and some of its notable residents. Among the buildings we studied, of different periods and styles, were the Hotel Russell (now the Kingston Fitzroy Hotel), the British Museum, Senate House, Birkbeck College, and the BMA building. We also walked around Russell, Torrington, Gordon and Tavistock Squares, examining their various memorials.

A more detailed description of the walk will be published in the next issue of the Inc.
