I've looked at other hotels around Bloomsbury for the same dates and they're expensive so there may be something else going on. I couldn't find anything of the Radisson quality within walking distance for that rate.

Amsterdam, I usually stay at a non-show hotel as I know the city well and there are great deals (and you can walk anywhere there).
