The heart of London's acedemia, being the home of the University of London, SOAS, the LSE and the British Library, Bloomsbury boasts beautiful gardens squares and a fantastic shopping mecca in the recently revived Brunswick Centre.

Bloomsbury is marvellously positioned being only 10 minutes by tube of 20 by bus to the very centre of London. It borders Covent Garden with its shops and bars and the new Eurorail at Kings Cross means it is a magazine's ride from Paris

DID YOU KNOW previous residents of Bloomsbury number Bob Marley, Ricky Gervais, Charles Dicken, Virgina Woolf and Stalin?
