If shopping is your thing, then The Brunswick is like a one-stop shop for treating yourself or some serious retail therapy but with the added bonus of there being lots of shops to choose from, all under one roof. The £24 million development of this area has literally given rise to an ultra modern, bustling shopping complex in the heart of Bloomsbury, a place which gained its cultural reputation from the avant-garde activities of Virginia Woolf and friends. French Connection, Waitrose and Starbucks may be a long way from the artistic values of this pre-war bohemian group but they do attract a diverse crowd to this still buzzing part of London, home to The British Museum. You can also catch a cult flick at art house cinema The Renoir or enjoy a spot of al fresco dining at one of the top-notch cafes or restaurants.
