In the first half of the 20th century, in London, writers like Virginia Woolf, Leonard Woolf, E.M. Forster, Vita Sackville-West, Roger Fry, Clive Bell, Lytton Strachey etc began to have a social gathering for drinks and discussion. The place where they met was in an area of central London called Bloomsbury. This gathering of literary intellectuals came to be known as Bloomsbury group.
