One of the capital’s most wonderful buildings  The Guardian Hawksmoor & Bloomsbury Exhibition St George’s Bloomsbury’s multimedia exhibition, Hawksmoor & Bloomsbury, is located in the  undercroft beneath the church. The entrance to the exhibition is in front of the tower at the main  church entrance on Bloomsbury Way. We try to open the exhibition 1 - 4pm every day. Please note however, that as we  are dependant on volunteers the exhibition may not be open if you visit us.  If you  are travelling from a long distance please do call ahead so we can guarantee  access.   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.
