Bloomsbury Walk

As I sit here thinking of the Bloomsbury walk, I cannot help but grin. I absolutely loved this walk. It has been my favorite of the ones I have already completed. The area was so quaint, quiet, and lovely. The district gained it's name from the Bloomsbury Group, artists and writers who lived in this area in the early 1900s. We chose to do this walk in the morning, and even though it was positively freezing, I could not help but enjoy it, even the pooring rain. Our walk began close to Bedford Square, completed in the late 1700s,  and apparently the finest surviving Georgian square. This walk included a trip to the British Museum, which was fantastic. A bit on the overwhelming side, as the building is absolutely massive, but great none the less. The museum is a place I hope to return to multiple times before I leave this city. I have always been a fan of Charles Dickens, and his works, so seeing a spot where he lived and wrote his first three novels was motivating.  The English major in me craves to see where other writers feel inspired. My favorite part of the walk came last, we wound our way through little alleys, and wound up in a square with just a couple of book shops, a cafe, and a camera store. I absolutely loved it here. The air was warm from fresh rain, and the entire atmosphere just felt content and relaxing. Certainly a spot I will revisit to do some writing sometime soon.
