Bloomsbury


Date: Saturday, May 7th? (It's been awhile)
Group Members: Tara Pearch and Shelisa Parkin
This was an ok walk. It passed through some pretty parks, but it wasn't very exciting. We were eager to find the house where the Bloomsbury group met, but we accidentally took a picture in front of the wrong building, and felt pretty silly! The coolest part of the walk by far was Dicken's house, where he wrote The Pickwick Papers and Nicolas Nickleby. It's interesting imagining what London must have been like in his day, to picture all of the poverty and injustice that plays such a large part in his stories. This walk also included the British Museum and the Hospital for Sick Children (as opposed to the one for healthy children!).
