Mrs



Bloomsbury Walk from Fitzroy Square to Mecklenburgh Square

|Begin at the left side of the map. Nearest tube stop is Warren St. |

| |

|From the Warren St. tube stop, turn left (west)and walk down Warren St, past Grafton, and turn Left into Fitzroy Sq. Start with #29 Fitzroy Sq. (See detailed |

|handout about houses in this square and the ones that follow.) |

|Leave Fitzroy Sqare by the southeast corner and turn left down Grafton Way. |

|Cross Tottenham Court Rd. and continue to Gower St., where you turn right. |

|(Optional) Down Gower St. turn right into Bedford Square to see #44, where Ottoline Morrell lived. Then walk back up Gower St. to Dillons Bookshop. |

|From Dillons Bookshop (on Gower St.) turn right down Torrington Place, pasing Torrington, Mallet, and Byng Place to Gordon Square (a left turn). This is the |

|center of Woolf’s Bloomsbury, lots of sites. |

|From the south end of Gordon Square, walk eastward to Tavistock Square. On the map below, these two squares are side by side (west to east), with Endsleigh Place |

|running along the north side. The Tavistock Hotel is your landmark. It stands on part of the site where Woolf’s major Bloomsbury home was, |

|52 Tavistock Square. |

|From Tavistock Square, turn left into Tavistock Place and walk down to Hunter St. |

|Turn right on Hunter St. and walk to Brunswick Square. Here the School of Pharmacy stands on the site of #38, the house Woolf shared with her brother Adrian and |

|several of his friends, including Leonard Woolf. |

|From the northeast corner of Brunswick Square, walk through a small alley, past a nursery school to Mecklenburgh Square. Woolf’s last Bloomsbury home was #37, on |

|the north side of the square. That block has been rebuilt, but some of the houses on that end resemble hers. |
