Keeping the Peace: A Bloomsbury Walk

Conway Hall

12 September 2026

A humanist heritage guide leads a two hour walk through Bloomsbury's streets and squares, tracing the lives of pacifists and anti war campaigners who worked for peace rather than for glory. The walk begins outside a historic meeting hall long associated with freethinkers who preferred argument to combat, a history of quiet resistance rarely told in the usual war story.
