About Bedford Court Mansions
Area: Bloomsbury
Postcode: WC1B 3AA
Bedford Court Mansions is a highly sought after red brick Victorian mansion block, ideally positioned on the tree lined Bedford Avenue, just south of the prestigious Bedford Square in the heart of Bloomsbury. Built in the 1890s, the building was originally designed to provide accommodation for nursing staff working at the nearby hospitals, adding an interesting historic layer to one of Bloomsbury’s most recognisable residential addresses.
The building was later converted into residential apartments, with an additional six penthouses added during the 1970s when the freehold was acquired by the resident management company. A distinctive architectural feature is the large internal light well, designed to maximise natural light throughout the building, something quite forward thinking for its time.
Today Bedford Court Mansions comprises approximately 120 apartments, ranging from studio flats to substantial duplex mansion apartments. Many of the original grand mansion flats have, over the years, been thoughtfully reconfigured into smaller residences to meet changing demand, whilst still retaining much of the building’s period charm and character. Arranged across four residential blocks over seven floors, the original façade remains beautifully intact. Interestingly, the fifth block was redeveloped internally and is now occupied by Companies House offices.
Hudsons Property has sold and let many apartments within Bedford Court Mansions over the years, often multiple times, reflecting the continued demand and prestige associated with living in this landmark Bloomsbury address. Residents may also apply for access to the exclusive private gardens of Bedford Square, subject to approval from The Bedford Estate, offering a rare opportunity to enjoy one of central London’s finest historic garden squares.
The building benefits from a modern concierge office within the main entrance, introduced as part of an extensive refurbishment programme that has helped Bedford Court Mansions set a benchmark for residential mansion blocks in Bloomsbury. Porter services operate Monday to Friday from 8am until 9pm, Saturdays from 8am until 8pm, with no porter service on Sundays or Bank Holidays.
Perfectly located moments from Covent Garden, Soho and Fitzrovia, Bedford Court Mansions is within easy reach of The British Museum, the theatres, restaurants and shopping of the West End, as well as UCL, UCHL and LSE. Tottenham Court Road station and the Elizabeth Line provide excellent transport connections across London and beyond.
