Part of the Bloomsbury Set!

Attending an event at 20 Bedford Way is much more than visiting an iconic building. Located in Bloomsbury, London’s academic heartland, our venue is surrounded by a unique history of scholastic and creative excellence. A district of Georgian architecture, beautiful garden squares and world-famous educational institutions, it’s a great place to spend time.

Over the years, Bloomsbury has been home to artists and writers such as Virginia Woolf, J.M Barrie and the Pre-Raphaelite brotherhood. It’s an historic area that boasts some of London’s oldest and most charming streets. You will find a range of fascinating independent shops, book sellers, cafes and pubs as well as cultural attractions like the British Museum, the Petrie and Foundling museums.
