Russell Square, named after the surname of the Earls and Dukes of Bedford, is a large garden square in Bloomsbury, in the London Borough of Camden. Russell Square is home to some historic landmarks, including the famous Russell Hotel, an exuberant Victorian building that opened in 1900. Russell Square is located close to the British Museum and the main buildings of the University of London. The center of the square is occupied by a small but enjoyable park.

The square used to be lined with large upper-middle-class homes, many of which remain standing. It was also a favorite area of many of London’s finest writers, poets, and artists, including T.S. Eliot and Thomas Lawrence. Many of them had their homes on the square. Interested in visiting this place? Check out the best Airbnbs Near Russell Square, London, United Kingdom.
