Bloomsbury and Russell Square are very interesting parts of London because it’s famous for the surrounding English heritage monuments. The Russell Square is a Georgian garden, with a Modern styled fountain in the middle. The water shoots out from the ground, so the children will love it, just be careful as the water is cold so bring a towels for your little ones, in case they do want to get wet. During the hot days, the grass area is filled up with many students skipping their lectures or failing miserably to cram in revision before their exams. The reason for this is that Russell Square is seconds away from three top universities, UCL, the London School of Oriental and African Studies and Birkbeck, and the students love this park. Additionally, there is also the British Museum and Senate House library, which attracts many tourists and serious academics who come to relax on the park chairs, to re-locate themselves on the London map, or catch up on scholastic reading. Other specials, is the restaurant in the middle of the park, which is well… very expensive, very posh and very ohh ahh. And there is an interesting pathway that has a fancy arch covered with entwined branches and leaves, that bloom in the summer, that I’d recommend for a romantic moment on a summer night.
So, if you have the time,
and have a few minutes spare,
to sit and watch Bloomsbury life go by,
then go to the middle,
the Middle of Russell Square.

Wow, that rhymes J

A really nice place to enjoy your lunch - the square is surrounded by busy roads but is actually a little spot of rare calm right in the middle of London. There is a fountain in the middle with benches running round it and a little cafe on one of the sides. There are lots of other small and cosy cafes nearby too as well as the Brunswick for restaurants and shopping, and of course the British Museum is just a stone's throw away.
There's your whole Sunday planned for you!
