Great Russell Street

Great Russell Street viewed from its junction with Bloomsbury Street

Great Russell Street is a street in Bloomsbury, London, best known for being the location of the British Museum.[1] It runs between Tottenham Court Road (part of the A400 route) in the west, and Southampton Row (part of the A4200 route) in the east. It is one-way only (eastbound) between its western origin at Tottenham Court Road and Bloomsbury Street.[2]

The headquarters of the Trades Union Congress is located at Nos. 23–28 (Congress House).[3] The street is also the home of the Contemporary Ceramics Centre,[4] the gallery for the Craft Potters Association of Great Britain;[5] as well as the High Commission of Barbados to the United Kingdom.[6] The Queen Mary Hall and YWCA Central Club, built by Sir Edwin Lutyens between 1928 and 1932, was at No 16-22 (it is now a hotel).[7]
