  • Bloomsbury in Nineteenth-Century Fiction: Some Quotations Compiled by Matt Ingleby and Deborah Colville
    Bloomsbury in Nineteenth-Century Fiction: Some Quotations compiled by Matt Ingleby and Deborah Colville From Theodore Hook’s Sayings and Doings (1824) One day, some week perhaps after the dismissal of Rushbrook, Henry was dining with the Meadowses, who were going to Mrs. Saddington’s assembly in Russell-square. It may be advantageously observed here, that this lady was the dashing wife of the eminent banker, whose acceptance to a bill due the next day my hero had in his pocket. To this party Mrs. Meadows pressed him to accompany them, never forgetting, as I hope my readers never will, that he, the said Henry Merton, Esq. held an appointment under Government of some four-and-twenty hundred pounds per annum, and was therefore a more suitable and agreeable companion for herself and daughter, than when he was “a single gentleman three months ago,” with no estate save that, which lay under his hat, and no income except that derivable from property entirely at the disposal of his father. Henry at first objected; but never having seen much of that part of the town in which this semi-fashionable lived, and desirous of ascertaining how people “make it out” in the recesses of Bloomsbury and the wilds of Guildford Street, and feeling that “all the world to him” would be there, at length agreed to go, and accordingly proceeded with the ladies in their carriage through Oxford-street, St. Giles’s, Tottenham-court-road and so past Dyott-street, and the British Museum, to the remote scene of gaiety, which they, however, reached in perfect safety.

  • Bloomsbury and the Bloomsbury Project
    Bloomsbury and the Bloomsbury Project An introduction by Rosemary Ashton For a hundred years Bloomsbury has been celebrated as the home of the ‘Bloomsbury Group’ of writers and artists who lived and worked in the area in the early twentieth century. Yet though Virginia Woolf, her sister Vanessa Bell, and their friends have come to define the area as a centre for innovative cultural activity, they were by no means the first progressive inhabitants of Bloomsbury. The UCL Leverhulme-funded project ‘Bloomsbury and Reform in the Nineteenth Century’ is dedicated to the study of the area during the previous century, a time of major political, social, and educational change during which Bloomsbury acquired its distinctive intellectual and cultural character. The Project’s timeline begins in the year 1800, when Francis Russell, fifth Duke of Bedford, obtained two acts of Parliament to develop his large Bloomsbury estate, the area stretching north from Great Russell Street to Euston Road and encompassing new squares including Russell, Tavistock, Woburn, and Torrington Squares, while the estate belonging to the Foundling Hospital further east was being developed at the same time, with streets and squares leading to Gray’s Inn Road. A striking number of pioneering nineteenth-century institutions are to be found in Bloomsbury, the area bounded by Tottenham Court Road in the west, Euston Road to the north, Gray’s Inn Road to the east, and Holborn to the south. The establishment of these institutions turned Bloomsbury from a largely undeveloped backwater, an area of swampy marshland and rubbish dumps, into London’s intellectual and cultural heartland, the location for progress and innovation in many fields—art, law, education, science, and medicine—which it remains to the present day.

Setting the Scene Museum Street runs through the heart of Bloomsbury, ultimately arriving at the handsome frontage of The British Museum (from which the street takes its name). The area is perhaps most renowned for its association with the bohemian group of 20th-century writers and artists including Virginia Woolf, Vanessa Bell and E. M. Forster, known as the Bloomsbury Set.

This included the establishment of the British Museum in 1753. In the early 19th century, the street became a fashionable area, with many prominent writers of the day gathering in its taverns, including Charles Dickens, John Keats and George Orwell, as well as the Bloomsbury Set.

  • 26/2 BEDFORD ESTATES Good Afternoon, My Name Is Simon Elmer, I Am the Steward of the Bedford Estate, and We Have Owned and Manag
    26/2 BEDFORD ESTATES Good afternoon, my name is Simon Elmer, I am the Steward of the Bedford Estate, and we have owned and managed large tracts of Bloomsbury for over 300 years. Our Estate is bounded by Euston Road to the North, Great Russell Street to the South, Southampton Row to the East and Tottenham Court Road to the West The London portfolio comprises around 200 properties, 825,000 sq ft of office space, 100,000 sq ft of retail space, over 1,000 hotel bedrooms and some 550 residential apartments. It also includes two public garden squares -- Russell Square and Bloomsbury Square -- and several private gardens. Over the next 10 years it is our intention to invest over £50 million in the Estate. In our view, and it is fair to say that collectively my Board has well over 100 years experience in moving around our Estate, it has never been harder to drive within and in and out of our Estate. In particular the ability to travel east to west, towards Mayfair has never been harder and traffic congestion and the impact on air quality has never been worse. The Estate whole heartedly welcomes the changes to Tottenham Court Road and Gower Street but understandably has some concerns over the impact on our Estate, and on our occupiers, which will never be fully understood until they are in place. That is accepted. However, the ability to witness the Experimental Traffic Order on Tavistock Place has illustrated to us that the plan is ill conceived and has a further detrimental impact on the ability to travel east to west in Bloomsbury.
