About Bloomsbury St. Lounge
The Spotlight on Bloomsbury St. Lounge

Upscale Lounge Vibe in the Heart of Bloomsbury

Located just off Tottenham Court Road, Bloomsbury St. Lounge is a chic, modern British restaurant tucked inside the Radisson Blu Edwardian Bloomsbury Street Hotel. With stylish interiors, plush seating, and a relaxed yet polished atmosphere, it’s a favourite for both locals and visitors looking for a sophisticated bite before heading to a nearby show. The menu offers elevated takes on British classics using seasonal ingredients, all served in a space that feels both intimate and cosmopolitan.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just a short walk from iconic live music venues like the Dominion Theatre and the Shaftesbury Theatre, this lounge is ideal for grabbing a meal or a cocktail before the show. Guests love the quick, attentive service—perfect when you're on a tight curtain call. The menu is designed for sharing and sampling, making it easy to enjoy a light bite or a full dinner depending on your schedule. Plus, the atmosphere remains lively but not too loud, so you can comfortably chat while soaking in the pre-show buzz.

What People Say

Diners on TripAdvisor and OpenTable praise the “beautiful decor” and “polished service,” noting that the staff are friendly and efficient—great if you’re watching the clock before a show. The food is often described as “flavourful and well-presented,” with cocktails getting a special mention for their creativity. Many reviews highlight how convenient the location is for theatre-goers and concert fans alike.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the menu, while high-quality, can be a bit on the pricey side for casual dining—so it's worth checking for set menus or deals. A few reviewers wished there were more vegetarian options, though what’s available is tasty and well thought out.

The Bottom Line

Bloomsbury St. Lounge is a go-to spot for stylish pre-concert dining with a British twist, offering quick service and a central location just steps from London’s top venues.
