Fitzroy Square is one of London’s finest squares and the only one designed by Robert Adam. It is named after Charles Fitzroy, 4th Duke of Grafton, who commissioned Adam to design the houses for a new London square in the late 18th century. Many famous artists, writers and statesmen have lived here, including Victorian prime minister Lord Salisbury and writers George Bernard Shaw and Virginia Woolf, who both lived at no. 29 at different times. The square has been restored over the last 40 years, including the circular stone plinth and railings - restored to the original design - and a new children’s play area.
One of London's largest private squares, designed and laid out by John Nash. Dominated by plane trees planted in 1817 to commemorate the Battle of Waterloo. An original and unique feature of the garden is the Grade II listed Nursemaids' Tunnel.
Built between 1775 and 1786, Bedford Square is the finest and most complete Georgian square in London and set the style for garden squares in the capital through the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
A beautiful Georgian square with a fine collection of trees, shrubs and plants, first laid out in 1776-88. A major ongoing replanting programme began in 2006.
Award-winning wildlife and community garden built and planted by the local community in 1983 on the site of a car park. Attractive for people and urban wildlife (including the West End's only frogs).
