Bloomsbury is a fashionable residential area made up of Georgian terraces and leafy squares. It came to the world's attention in the early years of the 20th century thanks to the Bloomsbury Set - a loose collection of intellectuals, the most famous of whom was the novelist Virginia Woolf. They achieved notoriety thanks to their liberal views, and the area still retains some bohemian character.
It's not far from London's West End, famous for its shops and theatres. Walk the cobbled streets of Covent Garden, a converted flower market now full of fashionable boutiques. Catch a show, take a stroll, or just relax in a café and watch the world go by.
