Tavistock

Seeking a London stay with a literary connection? The Tavistock stands on the location of Virginia Woolf's former home in leafy Bloomsbury, where she wrote some of her finest works. This characterful art-deco hotel puts you just an eight-minute walk from the British Museum and five minutes from Russell Square Underground station, making it perfect for culture-seeking couples and solo travellers alike.

Start your day with a hearty English breakfast before heading out to see the capital's attractions. Return in the evening to enjoy authentic Indian cuisine at the hotel's Poppadom restaurant – ideal before catching a performance at the nearby Bloomsbury Theatre, just five minutes away on foot. The Woolf & Whistle bar and restaurant, named after the famous author, opens onto a sunny terrace during summer months, offering a pleasant location for afternoon refreshments or evening drinks.
