What Bloomsbury is like to stay in
The grid of squares — Russell, Bedford, Gordon, Tavistock — gives the area its shape and much of its shade. University buildings, publishers and small hotels fill the terraces, and the Bloomsbury Group of Virginia Woolf and her circle lived and met here.
It feels central but rarely frantic. Weekday mornings bring students and academics; evenings are quieter than in neighbouring Soho or Covent Garden.
Several of the squares are open to the public and make good places to read or eat lunch. Russell Square has a café and fountains, Gordon Square has literary associations and benches under plane trees, and Coram's Fields is a park where adults may only enter with a child. The Senate House library, the model for the Ministry of Truth in Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, towers over the university quarter. Evenings bring talks and readings at the university and in the bookshops, and small restaurants stay busy with students, academics and theatre-goers heading south.
Museums, bookshops and places to eat
The British Museum is the obvious draw, and entry to its permanent collection is free. Smaller collections repay a visit too: the Charles Dickens Museum on Doughty Street, the Foundling Museum and the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology.
Lamb's Conduit Street has independent shops and good neighbourhood restaurants. The Brunswick Centre adds a cinema and everyday shopping, and London Review Bookshop is round the corner from the museum.
For academic, medical and business stays
University College London, SOAS, Birkbeck and several major hospitals, including Great Ormond Street, are here or close by. Visiting lecturers, researchers and families supporting a patient often choose Bloomsbury for that reason. King's Cross and St Pancras, with Eurostar, are just to the north.
Who Bloomsbury suits
- Visiting academics and researchers
- Families near Great Ormond Street or UCLH
- Culture-focused city breaks
- Eurostar arrivals wanting a central base

Why ask the residence direct?
Booking sites charge the residence a commission on every night. Ask direct and there is none, so the residence has room to move: unpublished specials, a better rate for longer stays, breakfast, flexible check-in and check-out, and sometimes help with theatre or restaurant bookings.
