St Georges Bloomsbury
Bloomsbury Way


“One of the capital’s most wonderful buildings.” (The Guardian)

St George's Bloomsbury is the sixth and final London church designed by the leading architect of the English Baroque, Nicholas Hawksmoor. Originally consecrated in 1731, St George's was reopened to the public in 2006 following a five-year restoration initiated and managed by the World Monuments Fund and made possible by the generosity of the Paul Mellon Estate and the Heritage Lottery Fund.

Today, St George's is a thriving parish church, concert venue and centre for community arts & education located at the heart of Bloomsbury, two minutes walk from the British Museum. Both the church and our new multimedia exhibition, Hawksmoor & Bloomsbury, are open daily to visitors.

Abeno Jananese Cuisine
Highly recommended restaurant
(view on the map)
Abeno Japanese Restaurant
With its modest facade & side-street location, Abeno would barely seem to merit a second glance. In fact this small, friendly Japanese _restaurant offers something out of the ordinary: a rare chance to sample okonomiyaki or ‘Japanese pizza’ in London. It’s actually more of a thick, savoury pancake cooked to order in front of you by a friendly waitress on a hot plate that doubles as a table. ‘Okonomi’ means ‘as you like’, so you can choose from assorted toppings: the ‘London mix’, for example, offers pork, bacon, salmon & cheese. Once cooked, your pancake is dressed with Japanese mayonnaise, a fruit-based sauce (a bit like HP sauce), dried seaweed & bonito flakes. Don’t fancy it? Go for fried noodles, though that would be missing the point of coming here.
