6 The Bedford Estates Retail Portfolio Bloomsbury Bloomsbury community biodiversity
It is not just the elegant Georgian buildings, pretty garden squares and world-class cultural institutions that make Bloomsbury so magical, it is also the The Building Centre people that call Bloomsbury their home.
A strong community spirit combined with a packed calendar of social events gives Bloomsbury a village-like feel that is unique in central London. And it is something we are keen to protect.
From supporting the Bloomsbury and Bedford Square Festivals to working with local volunteer groups and charities, we are always seeking new ways to bring people together.
Venue hire
Bloomsbury Festival Walk through Bloomsbury and look up. Count the rooftops above you and you’ll be surprised how many prestigious buildings across the city are blooming rooftop gardens and home to bee hives.
The British Museum, University of London and Rosewood Hotel have hives on their roofs. Le Cordon Bleu has a colony and pollinator garden on its roof which not only feeds the bees but
Cocktails in the City also provides the herbs for the kitchen.
Back down to earth, The Bedford Estates keep their hives in the stunning surrounds of Montague Street Gardens which produce award winning honey. 8 The Bedford Estates Retail Portfolio Buzzing Bloomsbury
