Historic garden square in London

Park

Message from ExploringLondon

Russell Square is a chill garden square in Bloomsbury, London, built by James Burton. It's near the University of London and the British Museum, so it's got an almost academic vibe. The place is almost perfectly square, with Woburn Place to the north and Southampton Row to the southeast. It's named after the Earls and Dukes of Bedford, and the gardens are beautiful and historic, and during the spring and summer, the florals are wonderful. Watch out for the occasional literary reference or TV cameo – Russell Square has seen its fair share of action over the years!
