In the heart of London’s creative quarter, a £25 million transformation is taking place. Just 50 metres from the steps of the British Museum and a short stroll to Covent Garden and Oxford Street, the Radisson Edwardian Marlborough hotel will re-launch in January 2009 as the sleek new four-star deluxe Radisson Edwardian Bloomsbury Street.
