For more than a century Bloomsbury has been at the heart of London's literary life, famous for gossip, genius and backbiting. But this area also has fearful stories of addictions, obsessions and disease to tell. Join us for an unashamedly nosy glimpse into the private lives of Bloomsbury's most celebrated residents.

Written and led by Richard Barnett, author of Medical London.

This walk starts and finishes at Wellcome Collection.

This walk is part of the Bloomsbury Festival.
