London walk: Russell Square, Charles Dickens Museum, British Museum, Oxford Street, Covent Garden

Narrated London walk from Russell Square to Oxford Street and Covent Garden

Join me for this walk through Bloomsbury – an area of London that Charles Dickens knew well – as we walk from the Charles Dickens Museum, through Russell Square and onto the British Museum, from where we take two separate walks, one to Tottenham Court Road and Oxford Street via Great Russell Street and Bedford Square, the other from the British Museum along Shaftesbury Avenue and through Seven Dials to Covent Garden.
This walk divides into four sections:
Part one is Russell Square Underground Station to the Charles Dickens Museum, via Brunswick Square and Great Ormond Street Hospital, circling back to Russell Square Underground Station. 25 minutes circular walk
Part two is Russell Square Station to Russell Square and onto the British Museum. 12 minutes
Part three is the British Museum to Tottenham Court Road avoiding New Oxford Street. 18 minutes
Part four is the British Museum to Covent Garden via Shaftesbury Avenue and Seven Dials. 16 minutes
The Charles Dickens Museum part of the walk is taken from Nicola Perry’s book 33 Walks in London You Shouldn’t Miss.

This walk was requested by Tina Kampouroglou who is bringing a group of students from Athens to London in April and is staying in the Russell Square area.
