Marchmont Street

It is the main high street serving southern Kings Cross and eastern Bloomsbury.

It links the Brunswick Centre and Russell Square tube station at its south to Tavistock Place at its north, where it becomes Cartwright Gardens.

The street is almost entirely commercial, with small retailers covering the northern half of the street, and a large hotel and the regenerated shopping centre covering the southern half.

The street is home to Gay's The Word – one of three LGBT bookshops in the country – and The School of Life.
