Hotels in WC1

The WC1 district covers the modern Bloomsbury area of central London, just north of Holborn. On Great Russell Street lies the British Museum, a collection of human history and culture, and the area is also home to landmarks such as Russell Square, Tavistock Square and Coram's Fields, as well as the legal district of Gray's Inn. Bloomsbury is known for its literary connections (Virginia Woolf and E.M. Forster were key components), its large number of garden squares and numerous medical institutions - Great Ormond Street Hospital, the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, University College Hospital and the Royal London Homoeopathic Hospital can all be found in WC1. There are also strong educational links in the area with the main library of the University of London, The Bloomsbury Colleges, University College London and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art all situated within the district. In recent years, estate agents have tried to rebrand the WC1 and WC2 areas of London as "Midtown" but it has yet to really catch on. More
