Marchmont and Bloomsbury

At the cultural heart of London lies Bloomsbury with Marchmont Street; a much loved thoroughfare that runs through its centre. The area is rich in history and famously known as the stomping ground of the Bloomsbury set; a group of influential writers, intellectuals and artists from the 1930s. Not surprising then, as you meander around its labyrinth of streets and pretty squares, that almost every turn leads you to a different museum, book store or university.

Love the nightlife

Movies, theatre or drinks; whatever your favoured form of evening entertainment is, you’ll not be short of options.

The Renior Cinema

A classic cinema for the more discerning film fan. Expect a programme of eclectic art house and foreign movies on its two screens. A bar offering a range of refreshments is open alongside.
