Bloomsbury Wellbeing Walks

The Association of Bloomsbury Squares and Gardens invites you on brisk weekly walks around Bloomsbury to improve your circulation and increase your weekly step count. Walks are led by the expert Camden Guides* and include a brief stop at the halfway point to hear a few fascinating facts about the location to rest before walking on. Please note, this is a wellbeing walk, not a guided tour.
