London History Trails

Women of Bloomsbury

A leisurely self-guided walking tour through the Bloomsbury area of London. Every couple of minutes you'll be given a quiz question to unlock the next stage of the walk, with the answer to be found somewhere near you.

Along the way you'll pass through plenty of quiet green spaces, discover corners of Bloomsbury, and uncover the unexpected history of some of the women who lived there - from the “Spy Princess” Noor Inayat Khan, to surgery pioneer Louisa Brandeth Aldrich-Blake and the novelist Virginia Woolf.

You'll pass through a few parks and gardens, some of which close in the evenings, so we recommend this starting walk between 9:30am and 4pm, to avoid any of these places being closed when you arrive.

Suitable for all ages.
