The Guardian
Hawksmoor
&
Bloomsbury
Exhibition
Exhibition opening hours are generally restricted to the opening hours of the
church. If you would like to visit the exhibition please ring the church office on
020 7242 1979 or email info@stgb.org.uk
Access to the exhibition is below the front of the tower at the eastern church entrance on
Bloomsbury Way, following the signs down the stairs to the Museum of Comedy.
Hawksmoor & Bloomsbury tells the story of how St George’s church came to be built and the
subsequent development of both the church and its local area. How did Bloomsbury come to be
built? Who has lived in this area since Georgian times? What inspired Hawksmoor’s unique
design for St George’s and how has the recent restoration project restored this masterpiece of
the English Baroque to its original splendour?
Come and explore the rich history of this unique part of London and find out how authors
(Dickens, Trollope), artists (Hogarth, Turner), socialists, abolitionists and suffragettes have all
played their part in the history of Hawksmoor’s most distinctive London church.
