Arcus

Set atop the Imperial Hotel on Russell Square, Arcus stands as Bloomsbury’s sole rooftop destination. Its expansive terrace allows up to 324 guests to take in sweeping city views, while the design reflects London’s famously unpredictable weather. Floor-to-ceiling windows, angular lines, and generous open-air sections emphasize the venue’s focus on changing cityscapes and natural light.

Arcus serves a menu of evolving seasonal sharing plates and bespoke cocktails, both created to complement the panoramic outlook. DJs and curated music appear regularly, and a private dining room provides an exclusive perspective on The City. Age restrictions apply from early evening, and the approach—smart-casual, step-free, and bookable—signals a modern, accessible addition to the Bloomsbury social scene.
