  Bloomsbury, London - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bloomsbury is an area of central London, in the London Borough of Camden.
Bloomsbury is often said to be named after a Norman landowner, William de Blemund (Blemondisben), who acquired the land in 1201, but is also said to be named after a village "Lomesbury" which formerly stood in the area.
Bloomsbury is roughly defined as the square bounded by Euston Road to the north, Gray's Inn Road to the east, High Holborn to the south and Tottenham Court Road to the west, although this square arguably also contains parts of Holborn and St Pancras.
