Senate house

Bloomsbury is the home of many of the colleges that make up theUniversity of London, and at the heart of them isSenate House. During theSecond World War, the colleges of the university (with the exception of Birkbeck) and their students left London for safer parts of the UK, while Senate House was used by theMinistry of Information. Which was later an inispiration for Orwells Ministry of Truth in George Orwell's novelNineteen Eighty-Four when it was . It's been a location for films likeBatman BeginsandSpy Game, but its less glamorous day job is as administrative centre for the University of London. Though the building was hit by bombs several times, it emerged from the war largely unscathed; rumour at the time had it that the reason the building had fared so well was thatAdolf Hitlerhad planned to use it as his headquarters in London.[8]

University College London (UCL) - is the third oldest university in England,

Birkbeck College has a panoramic (and student price cheap) rooftop terrace bar overlooking the square (open weekdays, take the lift at the end of the main corridor to the fourth floor and don't tell them I told you!).

UCL

University College London (UCL) - my alma mater - is the third oldest university in England,It is thesecond-largest university in the United Kingdom by number of full-time students, with around 135,000 campus-based studentsThe establishment of the University of London was hugely significant because it created a secular alternative to the religiously affiliated colleges of Oxford and Cambridge universities, thus making university education available to non-Anglican groups such as Dissenters, Catholics and Jews for the first time.11

University of London = 18 independent colleges

Founded in 1836, the University at first comprised just two colleges:University College London, andKing's College. It was created to compete with bix universtiies such as Oxford and Cambridge. Jews and other religion could enter these.Most of the parks in Bloomsbury belong to University12B.A. From 2013 3,000 9,000/ year(until 2013) (UK & EU)

Bloomsbury's squares are full of gardens, perfect for picnicking or lazing about on a sunny day.Russell Squareis the largest garden square, though watch out on weekday lunchtimes as you'll be fighting for space with escapee students and university staff. There's a cafe with outside seating in the middle of the square which is a good spot for a drink or ice cream. Or if you're looking for a bit more space, then you'll find the other local squares, likeTavistock or Gordon Square, a bit quieter.32Hotel Russell, 1898
