Woburn Walk

Its name comes from Woburn Abbey, the main country seat of the Dukes of Bedford, who developed much of Bloomsbury.

The street is well-preserved, including the black painted bow-fronted shops windows.

The walk shares the same building design with the adjacent Duke's Road, which however was built open to traffic.

From 1895 to 1919, the Irish poet, dramatist and Nobel Prize winner W. B. Yeats lived at what is today 5 Woburn Walk.

[3] From 1905 to 1906, the novelist Dorothy Richardson lived in Woburn Walk, in the building number 6, opposite where Yeats stayed.
