The bronze bust to feminist and queer icon Virginia Woolf is located in Tavistock Square in the heart of Bloomsbury, central London.
Married to the political theorist and writer Leonard Woolf, she also had a long-running relationship with the author Vita Sackville-West and found acclaim with novels such as Orlando (1928) and To The Lighthouse (1927).
Sackville-West has her own English Heritage blue plaque on her former home at 182 Ebury Street, Belgravia, SW1W 8UP.
