Bloomsbury adalah sebuah distrik di pusat kota London, Inggris, yang terletak antara Euston Road dan Holborn. Distrik ini dikembangkan oleh keluarga Russell pada abad ke-17 dan 18 sebagai sebuah kawasan perumahan modis. Bloomsburry terkenal karena taman-taman kotanya yang banyak serta reputasinya sebagai pusat kesusastraan London (khususnya kelompok Bloomsbury).[1] Selain itu, pusat kebudayaan, pendidikan dan sarana kesehatan juga banyak terdapat di distrik ini.[2]

Bloomsbury adalah lokasi dari departemen pusat University of London, termasuk Senate House Library dan School of Advanced Study, serta beberapa kampusnya, diantaranya University College London, Birkbeck, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, School of Pharmacy dan School of Oriental and African Studies. Sejumlah institusi kesehatan juga berlokasi di Bloomsbury, antara lain British Medical Association, Great Ormond Street Hospital, National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, University College Hospital dan Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine. British Museum dan Royal Academy of Dramatic Art juga berlokasi di distrik ini.
