Bloomsbury is an area 'crammed with history and with contemporary decision-making', the home of the influential left-wing Bloomsbury Group and Bloomsbury Publishing along with the British Museum, University College London and the Great Ormond Street Hospital. Bloomsbury has been a home of intellectuals, agitators and also working-class and now British Bengali communities. The book is described as 'presenting Bloomsbury as it's never been portrayed before: intimate, contemporary, exploratory and occasionally downright strange.' ReceptionIn The Independent William Parker described the book as ' amiably informative and well-illustrated...the ideal companion to any tour' and noted 'there has always been a tradition of radical political and religious belief in Bloomsbury'[1] while the book was also previewed in the Camden New Journal[2] and was listed as the best book about London of 2010[3] References1. ^https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/books/reviews/real-bloomsbury-by-nicholas-murray-2186137.html 2. ^http://www.camdennewjournal.com/news/2011/jan/real-bloomsbury-new-book-promises-provide-glimpse-%E2%80%9Creal-bloomsbury%E2%80%9D-launched-week-quee 3. ^http://www.welovethisbook.com/news/ten-best-books-about-london 5 : 2010 non-fiction books|Books about London|Oral history books|History books about London|Bloomsbury |
