Bloomsbury is in wyk yn it Londenske bestjoerlike gebiet Camden, yn de regio Grut-Londen. It leit tusken Euston Road and Holborn, developed by the Russell family in the 17e and 18e centuries into a modern wengebiet. It is notable for its array of túnpleinen,^[1] and numerous cultural, educational and healthcare institutions. While Bloomsbury was not the first area of London to have acquired a formal square, Bloomsbury Square, laid out in 1660 by Thomas Wriothesley, 4e Greve fan Southampton as Southampton Square, was the first square to be named as such.^[2]
