Walking Among the Scholars: Bloomsbury/St. Pancras

Site of Charles Darwin's home
Jeremy Bentham's remains
Area near where Charles Dickens lived
Statue of Mahatma Gandhi
Statue of Isaac Newton, based on a William Blake painting
I don't think any famous people went to Goodenough College!The British Library, which holds works from many famous people

Statue of Thomas Coram, sea captain and creator of Foundling Home

The Scholars Walk was very interesting. I enjoyed seeing all of the places in the area that had to do with literature and culture. The area was home to many literary and intellectual people of significance. The theme of my photo essay is therefore famous and important people. The University College of London and the other colleges in the area were very interesting to see and compare with our American schools. The British Library was also very informative. I learned a lot from the Walk among the Scholars.
