From 2002

There was a revision of ward boundaries in Camden in 2002. The ward covers roughly the western half of the area of Bloomsbury, which also covers the wards of King's Cross and part of Holborn and Covent Garden, and the eastern half of Fitzrovia, which extends into the City of Westminster.

The ward lies in the south of the borough, and is one of three wards of Camden south of Euston Road (along with Holborn and Covent Garden and King's Cross).
