THE STAGE FOR A NEW CONVERSATION IN LONDON’S LITERARY

HEARTLAND

WELCOME TO THE BLOOMSBURY

Located just a few minutes from The

British Museum, Theatreland, Soho and

the boutiques and markets of Covent

Garden, The Bloomsbury sits at the heart

of the historic and vibrant 18th century

Bloomsbury, London’s literary heartland

and home to several galleries, antiquarian

bookshops and an eclectic selection of

cafés, traditional pubs and eateries.

Housed in a Grade II-listed neo-

Georgian building designed in the 1930s

by Sir Edwin Lutyens, the greatest

British architect of his age, signature

architectural features within the hotel

include a magnificent stone entrance,

stunning double-height lobby and quirky

Lutyens-designed ironwork.

Like its iconic architecture,

The Bloomsbury evokes a comforting

sense of refinement and understated

glamour – inspired by the past yet

emphatically contemporary. And thanks

to several cultural partnerships including

Poet in the City and the Royal Society of

Literature, this unique hotel maintains

strong cultural links that are very much in

keeping with its position at the centre of

London’s literary heartland.

GUEST ROOMS

It’s the little things that make all the difference at The Bloomsbury. Each of the hotel’s guest

rooms offer understated contemporary décor blended with period architectural detail, luxurious

furnishings and Italian marble bathrooms.

Experience the height of refined luxury in our spacious Studio Suites. Decorated in a rich palette of

purples and mauves, with designer rugs and sumptuous velvet upholstered armchairs, these

light-filled suites reflect the epitome of refined luxury.

SUITES

For informal meetings, a light breakfast on-the-go or a delicious Afternoon Tea, there is Dalloway, while

Dalloway Terrace, named after the eponymous character created by Virginia Woolf, is an elegant, poetic

and quintessentially English alfresco all-day dining space with subtle design inspiration from the 1930s.

RESTAURANT, BAR & TERRACE

Reminiscent of the glamour and magic of a bygone era The Bloomsbury Club Bar takes some inspiration

from the lives of the famously colourful Bloomsbury Set. With its members’ club feel, plush leather

armchairs, atmospheric lighting and wall-to-wall bookshelves, it brings to life the sense of an age when

E.M. Forster or Maynard Keynes would have philosophised over a drink or two in a darkened corner.

MEETINGS & EVENTS

Complementing the grandeur of The Bloomsbury are its unique meeting and event spaces including the

George V and Queen Mary Halls - stately ballrooms with lofty ceilings and Waterford Crystal chandeliers, the

iconic Chapel and the intimate, book-lined Seamus Heaney Library, named after the late Nobel Laureate.

BLOOMSBURY - LONDON’S LITERARY VILLAGE

Since the early 20th century, the central London district of Bloomsbury has been feted for being the epicentre of the Bloomsbury Set: Virginia Woolf, Lytton Strachey, Clive and Vanessa Bell, John Maynard Keynes and several fellow travellers. Literary and artistic – and infamously unorthodox in their relationships (as the saying goes, ‘they lived in squares, painted in circles and loved in triangles’) – they lent the area a raffish and lofty air which in large part it still maintains. In these wide Georgian streets, you can still almost hear languid conversations about art and society echoing down the ages. Indeed, look up and you’ll find evidence of those heady days in the various English Heritage blue plaques, scattered from Bloomsbury to Fitzroy Squares - Bloomsbury is a series of grand urban squares, planned in the18th century. With the University of London and British Museum presiding over the area, as well as still hosting a huge slice of the Britishpublishing industry, Bloomsbury retains a rather charming sense that it’s a bit of an ivory tower. Of all the London areas, it’s most like the university cities of Oxford and Cambridge.

TRAVEL HUBSWithin a 2-minute walk: Tottenham Court Rd Tube Station. Within a 10 to 15-minute walk: Euston Station, King’s Cross, St Pancras International (Eurostar), Liverpool Street (Stansted Express), Paddington Station (Heathrow Express), Victoria Station (Gatwick Express)

ATTRACTIONSWithin a 5-minute walk: The British Museum, Covent Garden, Soho, Theatreland, Oxford Street. Within a 10-minute walk: Oxford Circus, Leicester Square, Royal Opera House.

At the same time, Bloomsbury is very close to Soho, Theatreland and the great shopping areas of Covent Garden and Oxford Street, and is open to many other influences. Go to the small grid of streets south of the British Museum and you’ll find a highly browseable collection of galleries and bookshops, punctuated by busy cafés and clothing stores, and thousands of tourists. At Gower Street – birthplace of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in 1848 – you can cross towards Tottenham Court Road and after a browse in its furniture stores, head west into the district of Fitrovia on Bloomsbury’s western flank, known for its art galleries and restaurants, and for being poet Dylan Thomas’ bibulous stamping ground in the 1930s. Go the other way, and you’ll pass handsome Queen’s Square, home to TS Eliot’s publisher Faber & Faber, past the famous children’s hospital in Great Ormond Street into East Bloomsbury, where Lamb’s Conduit Street is laden with independent clothes shops, galleries and delicatessens. Then track north, and you’ll find pretty Marchmont Street and the Brunswick Centre, an open-air shopping centre amid a modernist housing block, with a range of glossy retail and dining options. Even the most culturally-minded stroller deserves a good lunch.
