Bloomsbury Theatre
The Bloomsbury Theatre is located in the eponymous district of Bloomsbury, which is one of the city’s most desirable areas. The district has a population of about 10.000 but experts believe that it will grow in the upcoming years, as a large number of people are moving to the area with the help of Get Man and Van in North London. Newcomers prefer delegating their relocations to professional movers, as they have the needed tools and experienced to safely pack and laud their belongings. The entertainment venue dates back to the late 1960s and is owned by the University College London. It has a maximum seating capacity of 547 and stages musical, dramatic, dance and comical plays throughout the year.
