The Bloomsbury neighbourhood has a colourful literary past, and was once home to a group of writers, artists and philosophers known as the Bloomsbury Set.
Virginia Woolf, a key member of the set wrote some of her well-known novels in her home at number 52 Tavistock Square where she lived with her husband Leonard Woolf from 1924 until 1939. The Tavistock Hotel now stands on the site of Woolf’s former home.
A famous English Heritage blue plaque sits outside the entrance to the Tavistock Hotel, commemorating the famous writer who once lived there. A bronze bust of Virginia Woolf can also be found in Tavistock Square gardens, in the corner closest to the site of her apartment, which was badly damaged in the Blitz.
The Tavistock’s laid-back restaurant and bar, Woolf & Whistle, also pays homage to the famous 20th-century writer. Nestled in the impressive Art Deco style ground floor of the hotel, it has an attractive raised terrace area that overlooks the garden square, providing guests with the perfect backdrop for al-fresco dining.
Alternatively, our Indian buffet restaurant promises an authentic taste of South Asia with an abundance of delicious dishes to tantalise the taste buds.
