4 Beautiful Garden Squares in London You Must Visit
One of the oldest squares in London, laid out in the 1660s. Its gardens sit steps from the British Museum, ringed by grand Georgian terraces.
Bloomsbury Square
London's largest public square — medieval common fields turned into one of the city's first public squares in the 1600s, now with lawns, a bandstand and Sir John Soane's Museum.
Lincoln's Inn Fields
Built between 1775 and 1783 and among the finest surviving Georgian squares in London — Grade I listed terraces around a private central garden.
Bedford Square
Laid out in 1681 as King's Square, this leafy West End garden holds a statue of Charles II and a famous mock-Tudor hut — an oasis of calm in Soho.
