Can you get full fibre in Bloomsbury?

Yes – and availability is expanding rapidly. As of 2025, 95.33% of premises in the London Borough of Camden, which includes Bloomsbury, have access to ultrafast broadband (speeds over 100Mbps). This includes full fibre connections from major Openreach-based providers such as BT, Sky and Vodafone, along with alternative networks like Community Fibre and Hyperoptic.

While Openreach supplies the underlying infrastructure for many household-name broadband brands, Community Fibre and Hyperoptic run their own dedicated fibre networks, offering symmetrical upload and download speeds and excellent value for money.
