Bloomsbury with a Foreign Flavour

Beneath Bloomsbury’s “English” air is an array of foreign associations, including university colleges and museums relating to South East Asia and the Middle East, an Italian librarian, Hanoverian monarchs, Swedenborgianism and tropical diseases. An exploration of this potpourri of foreign personalities and organisations ends with a fascinating private tour of the Wiener Library, one of the world’s most extensive archives of the Holocaust and Nazi Europe.
