BLOOMSBURY
Bloomsbury is named after 'Blemondisberi'
or the manor of William Blemond, who acquired the land in the early-13th
century. The area remained rural until 1661, when the 4th Earl of
Southampton built Southampton (now Bloomsbury) Square around his house.
 More
grand squares followed including Bedford Square, laid out in 1775 - 80
and the vast Russell Square, added in 1800. By the mid-19th century the
district had become mostly residential but it was never a very
fashionable area. This explains why large institutions, such as the
British Museum and the University of London, were able to acquire large
chunks of the district.
Many of the Georgian buildings
in Bloomsbury's splendid squares have also been taken over by the
University, including the 'Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology' and
the 'Percival David Foundation for Chinese Art'. The University of
London's monolithic Senate House was added in the 1930s.
In the
early-20th century the area was best known for its association with the
'Bloomsbury Group' of writers and artists. Active from the early-1900s
until 1930s, many members of the group lived in the area, including
artists Vanessa Bell, Duncan Grant and Dora Carrington, biographer
Lytton Strachey and novelist Virginia Wolf. Individual "Blue Plaques"
commemorating the members of the Bloomsbury Group can be seen throughout
the area. Bloomsbury is still home to writers and artists and is a
traditional centre of the book trade. Although most of the publishers
that once thronged Bedford Square have now moved out to less expensive
locations, Bloomsbury is still known for its bookshops.
