Bloomsbury Social Centre, Community venue in Bloomsbury, London Borough of Camden, England.

The six-story Georgian building at 53 Gordon Square features classical architecture with period details and large windows across its Grade II-listed facade.

Students connected to Occupy London established this social center on November 23, 2011, in a former museum building that housed the Percival David Collection.

The fourth floor contained a library of radical literature, while other spaces hosted film screenings, language classes, cooking workshops, and political discussions.

The building stands at coordinates 51.524333, -0.129667 and now functions as part of the School of Oriental and African Studies Doctoral School.

During its 30-day occupation, the center maintained a Museum of Neo-Liberalism exhibition that analyzed and documented this economic system.

Location: London Borough of Camden
