Walk or Tube. Walking lets you soak in the Georgian architecture of Bloomsbury. The Piccadilly Line is fastest if you have luggage or mobility issues.
If arriving at St Pancras by Eurostar and heading to a Russell Square hotel, the walk is easier than navigating the station complex for a 1-stop Tube ride. Follow signs for "Euston Road" exit, turn right, and walk 10 minutes.
