VIRGINIA WOOLF
lived
1915–1924
and founded the

'VIRGINIA WOOLF

'Virginia Woolf
lived in a house formerly on the south side of
Tavistock Square from 1924 to 1939 where most of her
greatest novels were written and published.
 
"Then one day walking around Tavistock Square I made up,
as I sometimes make up my books, To the Lighthouse; in
a great, apparently involuntary, rush."
 
This memorial was erected by the
Virginia Woolf Society of Great Britain
26th June 2004'.
