Bloomsbury's large number of university and hospital centres, bookstores and bars attract a large crowd of locals, students and tourists. Elegant Georgian period residences overlook Russell and Bedford Squares, surrounded by greenery.
The charm of Bloomsbury has been recognised by dozens of artists and writers who chose the neighbourhood to live there; in fact, several houses are dotted with blue plaques that indicate that a famous tenant has passed and lived there.
It is a solid, sophisticated, respectable and bohemian area of London, with its low-rise, brick and Georgian-style houses, with intervals of green spaces, its large squares and the famous British Museum which houses a priceless collection of antiquities.
Holborn, London's historic courthouse district, is home to a lively mix of buildings and legal offices such as the imposing Royal Courts of Justice and the nearby Inns of Court. Elegant gastropubs and casual cafes are very popular in this area.
