Bloomsbury's square: Virginia Woolf's bust, Gandhi in the middle, and the site of the Hogarth Press at No. 52.
Bloomsbury GroupWriters' housesStatues & memorialsFree
The Woolfs lived at 52 Tavistock Square from 1924 to 1939, running the Hogarth Press in the basement, where they published The Waste Land and the first English editions of Freud, while Virginia wrote Mrs Dalloway, To the Lighthouse and The Waves upstairs. The house was bombed in 1940 and the Tavistock Hotel stands on it; her bronze bust by Stephen Tomlin is in the garden's north-west corner. Fredda Brilliant's Gandhi of 1968 sits cross-legged in the centre, and Dickens lived at Tavistock House on the east side, where he wrote Bleak House and Hard Times.
