Bloomsbury festival - Dickens Disraeli and Friends

To whose concert were ladies asked to come without hoops to their skirts, and gentlemen without swords? Who fought for the prisoners’ rights in the 18th century? And which politician pioneered modern education for the Muslim community in India and lived in Mecklenburgh Square? Find out these and many more interesting details by joining us for an exciting one and a half hour walk through central Bloomsbury! We will stop amongst others at Mecklenburgh Square, Theobald’s Road, Queen Square, and discover some less-known places in the area! The walk is part of Cultural Bloomsbury, a collaboration of not-for-profit organisations working together to support their charitable aims and to promote the Bloomsbury quarter as a wonderful place to work and visit. Meet at the Guided Walks tent in Russell Square.
