Russell Square occupies prime position in Bloomsbury, surrounded by Georgian architecture and serving the academic heart of London. Major approaches include the A1 via Euston Road from the north and the A4 through central London from Heathrow, though congestion charging applies. With over 11,750 EV charging points nearby and Russell Square station on the Piccadilly line, it's well-connected for both drivers and public transport users. The modern fountain at its centre replaced the original Victorian design in the 1980s.
