Get on the list for tickets and surprise someone who will appreciate the 'village of books' upstairs in particular.

The best place for a glass of wine*. It's the perfect balance – not too formal, not too informal either. Food is consistently good. Lamb's Conduit Street is a little oasis in the midst of Bloomsbury. (*slightly overpriced)

A very good selection of non-fiction, essays, and rare books. The Japanese book collection is gorgeous!

Mediterranean food in our cool and laid back cafe

Beautiful museum with permanent collections on anthropology, natural history and musical instruments. Surrounded by a park with farm animals and beautiful views of London skyline.
