I live in Bloomsbury, a very central location. This is an area with great history and culture, as well as the best of modern facilities.
I have 2 young cats; Ziggy and Wolfy and occasionally Merlin (my daughter's cat) comes to stay.
The room is a bright double bedroom; Wi-fi, living room opening onto balcony garden, with shared bathroom and separate WC.
I am within walking distance to British Museum, Covent Garden, British Library and much more.
My area has the greatest concentration of academic institutions in Britain includes various colleges of the University of London, several teaching hospitals and the British Museum.
Literary and artistic heritage from the Bloomsbury group lives on in thriving design, publishing and arts ventures.

Jo was very nice and her cats so lovely !
The room and bathroom were clean and confortable. It's a very good address for a little trip in London. Not far away from the center and the train station (you can take the bus or by walk).
Thank you so much Jo, it was a pleasure to have met you !! See you !
