Literary Bloomsbury

On Saturday, did a tour of Literary Bloomsbury. Bloomsbury is near the British Museum and lots of writers have lived there.

Fitzroy Square-the grandest square in Bloomsbury-both Virginia Woolf and George Bernard Shaw lived there over the years
Virginia Woolf and her husband set up their publishing company here-you can still see the name on the building

Pub where Dylan Thomas used to drink

A typical street of terraced houses-now mainly offices, etc for the universities in the area

Terrace where Virginia Woolf lived

Statue of Gandhi in Tavistock Square-ironically one of the 7/7 bombs was set off on a bus on the Square

The top of St Pancras Station-you catch the Eurostar to Paris here.

Painting of Woman in place of a window-the building is actually a pie shop mentioned in Oliver Twist

Not from the tour-the back of Wasabi Kit Kat-courtesy of a Japanese publisher who met with our editor

It was lime green and was all right at first but left a strange aftertaste
