Hotels in Bloomsbury, London

Bloomsbury is the WC1 district north of Covent Garden and south of King’s Cross. The neighbourhood grew around the Georgian squares built by the Russell family in the 18th century — Russell Square, Bedford Square, Tavistock Square — and remains one of Central London’s leafiest areas. The British Museum, University College London and the Senate House Library give it an academic character; the literary associations with Virginia Woolf and the Bloomsbury Group still attract visitors.

The area is one of the most convenient places to stay for rail travellers: King’s Cross St Pancras is a ten-minute walk or one stop on the Piccadilly line, with Eurostar services to Paris and Brussels and national routes to Edinburgh and Leeds. Euston covers the north-west routes. Russell Square and Holborn stations put the West End and the City within ten minutes.

Accommodation here leans towards Georgian townhouse hotels around Russell Square and Gower Street, with a strong cluster of three- and four-star mid-range properties — better value than Mayfair or Covent Garden while still inside Zone 1. Below are 29 hotels in Bloomsbury.
