Located in the Bloomsbury district of London, Thom set his easel out and painted one day.  The Bloomsbury district is known for a community of artists and literary writers.  Thom said, “As I painted this musty London public house, I was regaled with wartime stories by a fascinating old gent who had lived through Britain’s Finest Hour.  The quiet dignity of the scene is a tribute to the unseen gentleman and his wonderful recollection.”  He also said that the Bloomsbury is the same section of London where Peter Pan visited the Darling children.
