Bloomsbury
Thu Jan 02 2003 at 20:20:14
Bloomsbury is a district of central London, in the borough of Camden. Although upmarket and predominantly residential, the area is also fairly busy, lying not far north of Soho and the West End. It has more or less a square shape, being roughly defined by four prominent roads - bustling Euston Road to the north; fashionable shopping lane Tottenham Court Road to the west; commercial Gray s Inn Road to the east; and High Holborn, principal thoroughfare of the legal district of Holborn, to the south.
The area takes its name from early landowners the Blemund family, and began to be developed in the 17th century. Once on the northern fringes of London, subsequent expansion of the city has rendered Bloomsbury a part of the centre. Architecturally the area is mainly low-rise and is most notable for such venerable buildings as the Gower Street campus of University College. Geographically it is most distinguished by a number of very pleasantly gardene

The council said it was a TfL road, so it had “limited local control”, but it was trying to try to tackle pollution in the area.
Tactics included improving “cycling connectivity”, asking HS2 construction workers to use “efficient” HGVs, and imposing planning restrictions on new developments.
TfL said it had significantly reduced pollution in areas exceeding the legal limit since 2016, through tighter emissions standards and greener buses and taxis.

le Bel Épicier, run by the Frenchman Victor Richard. Here, a London shopper could find French coffee, mustards, pâtes, cornichon and wines particularly those from Richard’s native Burgundy. As well as providing much-needed epicurean relief, Richard’s shop was “for many years a head centre, where political refugees, as they arrive from the Continent, go for advice and help in finding lodgings or work, and where, of course, the continental police agents also flock so as to spy upon the land.”
Richard was a prosperous and entrepreneurial grocer. He was also a member of the International Workingmen’s Association (IWMA), a socialist and a Communard; his relocation from Paris to London was the result of his militant defense of the Paris Commune of 1871. Arriving as a political refugee in London in June 1871, Richard became a very well connected and locally celebrated revolutionary; apparent
