The Literary London Experience

Hotels in Bloomsbury London seem to be the perfect place to plan for your next stay, especially if you happen to be an avid fan of English literature. With the number of household names in the field of English writing, it’s no surprise that London would be home to many historical spots. From the Globe Theatre to a park famous for being the meeting place of writers, experience all of this if you manage to get a room at the Regency House Hotel London. Here are some rather famous spots that you can reach in just a few minutes.

Experience a visit to Baker Street!

The address 221b Baker Street is one that has been memorised by heart by any fan of the famous detective: Sherlock Holmes. You may say that it could take a detective to find the actual apartment because 221b is found between 237 and 241 Baker Street. Although the line of Sherlock fans waiting outside could be a huge giveaway. Baker Street can easily visited by staying in hotels in Bloomsbury London.

Step inside to be welcomed by staff in full period costume, and the all too familiar study of Sherlock. Readers with an eye for detail will notice that the furnishing in the apartment follows details presented in the book to the dot. Chemistry apparatus decorate the shelves and you can even sit in front of the fireplace, just like Sherlock did with his many clients.

See if you can find Potter’s Platform!

Anyone with wizard blood in them will be sure to see this platform located cleverly between platforms 9 and 10 in King’s Cross Station. The start of the famous boy wizard’s many magical adventures can be the start of yours too. A staff member will even let you choose one out of the four Hogwarts House themed scarves to wear before you take your photo. There’s even a nearby shop where you can buy other wizardry items.

Have a look at Hatchard’s!

No literary tour could be complete without a visit to Hatchard’s -- the oldest bookstore in London. Despite being more than 200 years old, this bookstore is up to date with the newest titles. If you’re looking for a rather hard to find edition, the store even claims to be able to find you a copy of the book you’re looking for; whether out-of-print or a special first edition. For those tired of reading and more interested in listening, you can attend their many talks (inclusive of a nice glass of wine) hosted at Hatchard’s Piccadilly.

By booking at the Regency House Hotel London, you’re sure to find a literary adventure within spitting distance. At the end of the day you can simply relax in your room and indulge with a good book and the taste of great English literature.
