Now home to a many colleges and specialist hospitals, and also for the British Museum and the British Library, Bloomsbury is the educational core of London. This inspirational hub is home to a host of outlets selling anything from collector’s books to stamps, umbrellas and other peculiar stuff, and naturally with a vast student populous there are many choices of cheap eating places.
The main streets and buildings include Bloomsbury Mansions, Bedford Court Mansions, Bedford Avenue, Ridgmount Gardens, Russell Square, New Oxford Street, Theobalds road, Queen Square, Lamb’s Conduit Street, Bedford Square, Bloomsbury Square, Woburn Place, Gower Street, Southampton Row, Great Russell Street, Museum Street, Great James Street, Red Lion Square, Queen Court
Bloomsbury easily accessible from all over London. King’s Cross is the system’s busiest interchange. Buses run frequently along Tottenham Court Road, Gower Street, Euston Road and New Oxford Street.
Bloomsbury is also home to the disused British Museum tube station. Goodge Street(Northern Line), Euston Square (Circle, Hammersmith & Metropolitan Lines), Warren Street (Northern & Victoria lines) and Russell Square (Piccadilly line) are some of the nearest Tube Stations of Bloomsbury.
The buildings range from elegant Queen Anne and Georgian family houses to Victorian and Edwardian red brick blocks. Large flats (1300 to 1600 square feet) can be found in prestigious portered buildings such as Bedford Court Mansion, Ridgemount Gardens or Bloomsbury Mansions. Blocks and conversions offer three bedroom flats to studios which are ideal for first time buyers. Loft style penthouses crown both new developments and period blocks, often with roof terraces. Interiors vary from cutting edge minimal urban designs to panelled, with a wealth of period features.
Bloomsbury offers everything you’d expect in an area dominated by students of academic and artistic mind: bookstores, cheap eats, social haunts and retail therapy. But rather than offering a campus lifestyle Bloomsbury is sophisticated, cultured and prestigious.
