Bloomsbury is a very central district of London within easy walking distance of Covent Garden, Piccadilly and Oxford Street amongst others.

For visitors the icon of the area is the British Museum, which is very central within the district. Bloomsbury is a very attractive venue to stay and there is quite a good range of Bloomsbury hotel accommodation for all budgets.

Bloomsbury is well within the London congestion zone where vehicles pay a toll to gain entry.

>> Detailed Guide To London Underground
Heathrow Airport to Bloomsbury
By far the most comfortable transfer from Heathrow to Bloomsbury is to catch the Heathrow Express from Heathrow to Paddington then get a taxi or the Underground via Oxford Circus to Tottenham Crt Rd or Holborn.

This is quite expensive though, at a fraction of the cost you can do the trip using the Heathrow Underground link. This option can be very crowded, but many people do it and think of the money they're saving. Journey time is under an hour. It is a direct train from Heathrow to Holborn or Russell Square.
Gatwick Airport to Bloomsbury
From Gatwick to Bloomsbury take the Gatwick Express train to Victoria. There are commuter trains which perform the same route and are fractionally cheaper.
There is also a very cheap Gatwick to Victoria airport bus, but this is much slower and less frequent.
From Victoria, take the Victoria Line Underground to Oxford Circus, then switch to the Central Line for Tottenham Court Road or Holborn.
Stansted Airport to Bloomsbury
The fastest and most comfortable option is to take the Stansted Express train to Liverpool Street, then get the Central Line underground to Holborn or Tottenham Court Road.
You can save some money taking the longer airport coach option. Take the Terravision Stansted Coach from Stansted to Liverpool Street Station, or the National Express coach from Stansted to Stratford and pick up the Central Line Underground there..
Luton Airport to Bloomsbury
A direct train service operates from Luton to Kings Cross Thameslink several times an hour. There is no train station at the airport itself so you get a free bus shuttle from in front of the terminal to Luton Parkway. From Kings Cross, you can take the Piccadilly Line Underground to Russell Square or Holborn.
Much slower, but less expensive is the Green Line Luton Bus. This operates several times an hour from In front of the terminal at Luton to Marble Arch, where you can get the Central Line underground to Tottenham Court Road or Holborn.
Bloomsbury by Taxi
The only worthwhile airport to consider using a taxi from is London Heathrow. A black taxi from in front of the terminal will cost in the region of £50, (taxis are metered but fares will vary depending on time of day and time taken).

A short taxi connection to say Kings Cross will cost around £5-£7, Victoria around £10.
Transfers For Small Groups & Families

If there are four or more of you travelling in a group, do explore the option of chartering your own minibus. For Heathrow especially a minibus has compelling advantages both economic and practical to using public transport.

Dot 2 Dot Hotel Shared Hotel Shuttle Bus To/From Heathrow /Gatwick

The Hotel bus shuttle is an established shared minibus service transporting travellers between Heathrow Airport and their Central London Hotel.

You pay a flat fare per person, whether there is one or four of you. You will share the minibus with other travellers.
The driver will drop you off at your Central London hotel in the order which makes most sense given the location of the destination hotels.
Coming back out to the airport, you agree a time slot within which the minibus will pick you up from your hotel lobby.

The service is well established and is used by many small tour operators. You should be aware that this is a shared service, not a private taxi transfer. You may have to wait at the airport 15-20 minutes for the shuttle and you may get a mini-tour of London if the people on board have widely dispersed accommodation.

Dot 2 Dot have desks in the terminals and plenty of their own staff available at the airports to make sure the transfer goes smoothly.
