Woburn Walk, London: 1
This is Woburn Walk in London’s Bloomsbury. It’s pretty, certainly, but what’s of particular interest is that it’s one of the first examples of a pedestrian shopping street in the Regency era (1795-1837).
Woburn Walk was designed by the master builder Thomas Cubitt in 1822. It’s named after Woburn Abbey, the country seat of the Dukes of Bedford, who developed much of Bloomsbury.
One of the Walk’s most notable residents was WB Yeats, the Irish poet and Nobel Laureate. He lived here from 1895 to 1919.
