Hotel accommodation in Bloomsbury

Bloomsbury is a very popular area to stay because it’s so central, running from Tottenham Court Road in the west to Grays Inn Road in the east, but you won’t find many cheap hotels here. There are a few mid-range hotels worth looking at, but most of the 3 and 4-stars have higher prices than their equivalent in other parts of London.

Covent Garden, Leicester Square, and the shops along Oxford Street are all within easy walking distance, and the British Museum is right on the doorstep. If you stay in the southern half of Bloomsbury then it will also be an easy walk to all the West End theatres.
