Grange Blooms Hotel - London

Dr John Cumming was an eccentric minister who had a bit of a fixation on apocalyptic prophecy as well as anti-Catholic views –and when he was not attaching what he called the Romish aggression of the church, he was interpreting Old and New Testament prophecies about the end of the world and was absolutely sure that he would live to see the end of the world. He’s just one of Grange Blooms’ former occupants and it’s been rumoured that during long, winter nights, his ghostly presence has been spotted in the lounge area of the hotel.

Brief History

Blooms Hotel has a long and rather distinguished list of former occupants; everyone from the aforementioned Dr John Cumming to Richard Penn. The building dates back to the 18th century, but the building itself stands in what used to be the grounds of Montague House, which is now the British Museum.
