Bloomsbury is an area of central London, in the London Borough of Camden.
Bloomsbury gets its name from its medieval landowners, the Blemunds, though nothing was built here until the 1660s. Through marriage, the Russell family (the earls and later dukes of Bedford) acquired much of the area, and established the many formal, bourgeois squares which are the main distinguishing feature of Bloomsbury today. The Russells named the grid-plan streets after their various titles and estates, and kept the pubs and shops to a minimum to maintain the tone of the neighbourhood.
The area contains some of London's finest parks and buildings, and is particularly known for its formal squares. These include the large and orderly Russell Square, with its gardens originally designed by Humphry Repton, the smaller unusual round Bedford Square (built between 1775 and 1783), Bloomsbury Square, dominated by the grand Victoria House, Queen Square, home to many hospitals, Gordon Square, Woburn Square and Torrington Square, which are home to parts of University College London. Tavistock Square, home to the British Medical Association.
In the twentieth century, Bloomsbury acquired a reputation as the city's most learned quarter, dominated by the dual institutions of the British Museum and London University , and home to many of London's chief book publishers, but perhaps best known for its literary inhabitants. Today, the British Museum is clearly the star attraction, but temple and the law courts there are other sights, such as the Dickens House Museum , that are high on many people's itineraries.
In its northern fringes, the character of the area changes dramatically, becoming steadily more seedy as you near the two big main-line train stations of Euston and King's Cross , where cheap B&Bs and run-down council estates provide fertile territory for prostitutes and drug dealers, and an unlikely location for the new British Library .
For those visiting, Bloomsbury is served by numerous tube stations: Euston, Euston Square, Goodge Street, Warren Street, Tottenham Court Road, Russell Square and King's Cross St. Pancras. The mainline rail stations Euston, King's Cross and St. Pancras are all located on the northern edge of Bloomsbury. It is also home to the disused British Museum tube station.
