Located in London’s West End, Bloomsbury is a fashionable residential area that still retains some of its bohemian character. The streets and squares were developed in the late 18th Century, and Bedford square (a 5 minute walk from the Jesmond Hotel) is the only Georgian square that remains untouched on all four sides in London. This very prestigious neighbourhood is just minutes away on foot from the West Ends Theatreland, Soho, and Covent Garden.
