London/Bloomsbury

[[file:British Museum Reading Room banner.jpg|1280px|British Museum Reading Room|Halal Explorer to Bloomsbury, London}} London city regions maps - Bloomsbury - Location of the Bloomsbury area in London eHalal Travel Guide is about three neighbourhoods of central London: Bloomsbury, St Pancras and Fitzrovia.

Bloomsbury is the hub of London's university neighborhood, is home to the British Museum and is next to the British Library, both must-visits on any curious traveller's wishlist. St Pancras is a largely residential area with many fine 17th- to 19th-century townhouses built around pretty squares with gardens of varying levels of privacy, and the perfect place for a wander to soak up the atmosphere of being in London. This is also a promising place to look for accommodation, from affordable student hostels to 4-star hotels and apartment rentals. What Fitzrovia lacks in attractions it makes up for in an excellent variety of pubs and bars, most of which cater for a young, intellectual crowd of students, media types and junior doctors.

London/Bloomsbury Halal Explorer

Bloomsbury is a vibrant historic neighborhood made most famous by a group of turn-of-the-century writers that included Virginia Woolf and EM Forster (the "Bloomsbury Set"), economist John Maynard Keynes and the artist Roger Fry.

It is also the location of the British Museum and the campus of University College London and numerous historic homes, parks, and buildings.

Fitzrovia is to the west of Bloomsbury. The border between these 2 neighborhoods is the Gower Street–Bloomsbury Street axis. Allegedly, Fitzrovia was named after the #Eat|Fitzroy Tavern. The Al Jazeera's New Broadcasting House is at the western end of this neighborhood.
