Attractions
Russell Square is one of the largest squares in London.
Laid out in 1800, the square is dominated by the flamboyant Russell Hotel, which occupies its east side. The garden of Russell Square is opened to the public and has a very convenient café. On the southern edge of the square is a statue commemorating the 5th Duke of Bedford (1765 - 1805). An avid farmer, the Duke is shown with a plough and sheep. Russell Square has been refurbished and reopened in March 2002, complete with a new fountain.
Museums and Galleries
The British Museum is the world's oldest museum and was founded in 1753. The collection was first started by Hans Sloane, the man responsible for the initiation of the Chelsea Physic Garden. Sloane's collection had soon expanded massively and needed permanent housing.
The British Museum has exhibits spanning the last two million years of history, being the most visited attraction in London and admission is free.
Cinemas
The Renoir Cinema, like its well-known namesake, brings art to the masses through its notable line up of art-house and foreign films.
The centre point of the bustling, newly renovated Brunswick Centre in leafy Bloomsbury, the Renoir Cinema offers an escape from the hustle and bustle of busy central London.
