Bloomsbury (East)
Agog with students, this tract of Bloomsbury is a bustling cultural playground. The brilliant Renoir Cinema resides in the belly of the Brunswick Centre, a Brutalist masterpiece with some posh shops thrown in for good measure. For contrast, stroll over to Lamb’s Conduit Street and enjoy some boutique shopping. Then indulge in a sit-down cream tea at Bea’s.
