SUMMARY:From Burton to Beveridge: Bloomsbury's Great Groundbreakers
DESCRIPTION:This walk takes a roundabout route from Tavistock Square to Russell Square. Focusing on creativity in a broad sense\, it aims to show how twelve notable Bloomsbury figures embody it. Apart from imagination and artistry\, its mainsprings lie for instance in curiosity\, pioneer spirit\, responsiveness to human needs\, and even serendipity. All these figures had a clear vision and strong sense of mission. Their achievements have benefited people in innumerable ways. \nHighlights on the route will include an architect whose work made him “most gratifyingly rich”\, a poet who “altered expression”\, the founder of the Welfare State\, a pioneer of education for working people\, a visionary female bookseller and the origins of the Bloomsbury Group.

SUMMARY:First and Quirky Fitzrovia
DESCRIPTION:A very popular walk passing the homes of the famous both past and present. Film sets\, street art and ending at an iconic tavern. \nThis is about Bohemian London and both the wealthy and not so wealthy parts of the community. We pass the homes of some celebrities past and present and the workhouse that inspired Dickens to write Oliver Twist. We pass Dickens first London home\, and some very ‘quirky firsts’. We walk along Colville Place a hidden gem. As this walk is on a Wednesday we are able to visit the amazing Fitzrovia Chapel which is a real rare treat. This is the location where King Charles in 2024 chose to give his annual Christmas speech to the public. \nAs with all of my walks we end in an iconic tavern (this one I promise is amazing – its one of those places that it is easier to state who hasn’t drank there than who has!)
