What to expect
Fitzroy Square
The buildings around Fitzroy Square were designed by Robert Adam, the famous Scottish architect. It's one of London's most attractive squares, with a Key Garden in the centre. This is accessible to people living on the square, who have the right to hold a key.
Bedford Square
Bedford Square is one of the earliest and best preserved London Squares. It was developed by Thomas Leverton in 1775 for the Duke of Bedford who owned all the land around Bloomsbury. The freehold still belongs to the Bedford Estate.
The British Museum
The British Museum was founded in the 18th century, but the present building dates from the 1840s and later. Robert Smirke designed the main building, including the famous 'Reading Room' where Karl Marx wrote 'Das Kapital'.
Russell Square
Russell Square is one of London's largest squares. The original buildings surrounding it were constructed in the early 1800s, in the Georgian classical style. The architect was James Burton, who employed the famous landscape gardener, Humphrey Repton, to design the gardens.
Tavistock Square
Tavistock Square was developed at the same time as Gordon Square. There's a statue in the middle of the square. This is of Mahatma Gandhi, who studied in London University.
Woburn Walk
Woburn Walk was designed by architect Thomas Cubitt in 1822 as a pedestrian street. It was in fact London’s first purpose-built pedestrianized shopping street. Much of the architecture has been preserved, including the Dickensian bow-fronted buildings.
