The square used to be private only for residents. However during the Second World War its railings were removed to be melted down for armaments allowing other people to come into the square. It was officially made public in 1950.

Wonderful spot for the whole family. Great for picnics, or just a moment of quiet reflexion. Children's play area. Magnet for when sunny. Wheelchair access. Surrounded by terrific shops.

A nice garden that offers a break when one is walking around this area. A few benches available to sit and rest. Feeding the pigeons seems to a good activity enjoyed by children. Saw a homeless man living in here too.

Beatiful park with benches and kid's play area, very close to the British Museum and few minutes walk from Holborn station. Besides it stands the enormous Victoria house.

When taking These photos There’s a not Too shabby park Behind me These stairs however Both brutal And Escheresque Are the real attraction

Lovely place to sit and rest. Can find peacefulness in this busy area of central London. Lots of benches pretty apart from each other. Lovely buildings around. Good place to rest my tired legs with a cup of coffee after shopping.

Lovely place to sit down during a long day of walking, the sun was blazing and it really brightened up our day

Pleasant small square, well-maintained and surrounded by some attractive and interesting old buildings including the imperial and imposing Victoria House. Small enclosed toddlers' playground but no toilets here. Gertrude Stein* briefly lived at no:40. Now you know. Quote: * "Whenever you get there, there is no there there."

Nice place

Nice little park in the middle of the city for you to take a break from all the buildings and see some Green for a change. If the weather is good, this is not a bad spot for having a nice picnic. However if you're expecting a long walk this would not be the place

Bloomesbury Square, originally Southampton Square, is reportedly one of London first Garden Squares dating back to the 1700’s. So it’s an important landmark and needs to be cared for. There’s a new kids playground which would suit up to 8 year olds, plenty of grass areas for a picnic and some bench seating. It’s a great getaway from the Museum for an hour before round 2. I would say that it’s now got a more unkempt feel about the garden beds and grass, I’m not sure what the council is aiming for here!

A small park in the middle of the city. It was honestly quite great as it allows people to escape from the big city but the conditions were pretty bad when I went there. Park looked dirty, there were many bads, empty cans and drinks that have been there for a while. It looks like the park hasn't been cleaned for a couple of days. It isn't priperly maintained either, grasses is taller than it should be and it is growing in places it shouldn't as well. Apart from this, the part was quite peaceful but considering the part UK has one of the highest taxes in the world, it should be way better displayed to citizens and tourists.

Nice square with benches to sit and breathe, have a snack or just relax. There is also a children's play area very well taken care off and good for Balancing.

A lovely little square of tranquility near the British Museum. The plaza in the middle is perfect for small performances, make sure you check the adjacent boards for events!

Nice area, unfortunately when I went there was a strong smell of weed, and some man who came up to me and my friends and shouted to himself which got people pretty scared. Now this isn't some hero or macho man kind of story but I didn't want to make the man think we were scared of him so that he didn't take offence but my fellow friends got up from the bench we were at and I followed suit. The man ended up taking our bench and that's my experience at Bloomsbury Square Garden. I doubt this will be a scenario you encounter but both events happened within I guess 10 minutes of each other. Perhaps not the best park area to take your kids.

Great park

Love sitting here. Great little park. Very old and large trees.

Lovely place to relax also has a cafe and restaurant.

Just a nice enjoyable square. More charming than some of the overly preened ones. Nice mature trees and plenty of interesting places nearby.

A quiet place to sit on a bench and eat a picnic before heading into nearby British Museum...an oasis of greenery to just chill. The park was well used, but clean.

A little oasis but nothing special. The play area is designed for tiny tots and it looks as though homeless people and/or revellers leave their cans and litter around the fence. Good to see benches for those who are simply weary or who.have no outside space at home.

Lovely idylic square / place.. Beautiful too !!

Nice park, unforunealty very dirty alleys

Really lovely little gem of a park, not too busy at all. Nice, clean play equipment. This park is more so for younger children

Not a great Afternoon Tea experience. Not much in to get taste bud excited about! Standard of food poor. But the manager did all he could to redress the situation with a free bottle of wine. I was informed that the hotel is doing all it can to recruit staff back, but with the pandemic and us leaving the EU, finding staff is really difficult. Sad really 😞

Generally pretty quiet, and a nice place to sit down, though they need more benches. There's a little playground for toddlers, but it's too small for kids 4 and older.

The garden is alright. Would love more if it had flowers or maybe its winter and the flowers will bloom.

Small and good place to have a pause especially those who are with toddlers. A place to sit and relax for a while. Its just at the corner of The British Museum.

Good place for a quick rest, plenty of benches and pigeons to watch.

Beautiful London square with a kids play area overlooked by the rather grand Victoria Building

Nice gardens with little children's playground surrounded by hedges. Clean and well kept. Plenty of benchs to sit on and rubbish bins there are.nice wildlife flower beds and plenty insects in them . Peaceful area.

It's not a spectacular garden, but considering its location, it is good enough for its size. Very well maintained with a good variety of plants, makes for a decent spot to chill if for example on a lunch break or for a short gathering

The desert is clean, like a blank page ready to take the lines of Euclid and Pythagoras. These were the lines that separated spatial planes. And those planes demarcated the end of whistling air and the start of solid mass. And that mass, extracted from the ground, was unified to form a building. A building that was devised in a mind. Though that mind would succumb to time, at its zenith - it touched the infinite. The constancies of geometry. It is therefore right to play this harmony of art and science in the desert. A place most free of visual noise, where the eye is not to be drawn off by secondary elements. Although, after the mind has vanished, and much later the building, only the geometrical principle will remain, the desert swallows all else. And thus the desert is clean.

Nice and peaceful but the council is not taking proper care as there were alcohol bottles every where and left over food and grass fully burnt so it appears one watered it

Great place to hangout or have a picnic. Ps. I lost my phone and glasses here if anyone finds it kindly contact me

Free to visit. Play ground is available

Nice park a little bit in the centre of clearness and some kids play area on the side 7/10

Nice to find this lovely old garden as I was walking through London. A good place to relax in the sun.

Great green area with playground for small kids in the middle of the city. However, we've seen trash in some parts of this small park

Great ncp parking. Very safe system, so I felt safe, and I knew my car was secure there for the day.

Typical London leafy square. Lovely sunny place to sit.

Very pretty and looked after!

Tranquility in the midst of chaos

(Translated by Google) One more of the London squares that are almost entirely occupied by a garden. In this case it is reputed to be one of the first squares in the city, dating its construction from 1660. It is located at the back of the British Museum, a few meters from its older sister, Russell Square. Its dimensions are 120 meters long by 75 meters wide, and it is covered with grass and trees. My visit coincided with the month of December, so she was quite soulless. Its most prominent feature is the bronze statue of Charles James Fox, a prominent liberal and anti-slavery politician, ally of the Dukes of Bedford, who supported American independence from England and the French Revolution. It can be visited daily, from 07:30 to 22:00. (Original) Una más de las plazas londinenses que se encuentran ocupadas casi en su totalidad por un jardín. En este caso tiene fama de ser una de las primeras plazas de la ciudad, datando su construcción de 1660. Se sitúa en la parte trasera del Museo Británico, a escasos metros de su hermana mayor, Russell Square. Sus dimensiones son 120 metros de longitud por 75 metros de anchura, encontrándose cubierta de césped y arboleda. Mi visita coincidió con el mes de diciembre, por lo que se encontraba bastante desangelada. Su elemento más destacado es la estatua de bronce de Charles James Fox, relevante político liberal y antiesclavista, aliado de los duques de Bedford, que apoyó la independencia estadounidense de Inglaterra y la Revolución Francesa. Puede visitarse diariamente, de 07.30 a 22.00 horas.

Great place to park in london

Great park in the centre of London!

Nice Square

Yeah nice square

Perfect

Super

Nice buildings. 1957

VERT TRANQUIL PLUS COFFEE SHOP😄

Small quint, a perfect place for a small lunch.

Lovely street food attached to an old london red phone box behind this park, sells the best falafel. All was vegan too so I was extra happy! The park was busy but peaceful... lovely to get off the main road and enjoy my lunch surrounded by greenery, people chatting, and exercising too.

Nice calm and cozy corner in central London with a really lovely playground for kids.

Bloomsbury Square is a garden square in Bloomsbury built in the early 17th century. The garden itself is open to the public and there's also a nicely maintained play area for children. Generally, the square is well maintained with plenty of benches to sit in a peaceful environment. At the northern end of the square is a statue of Charles James Fox, a Whig politician of 18/19th century. At the southern end is the entrance to the well known Sicilian Avenue shopping street. In 1694, a duel took place here between Scottish economist and financier John Law and Edward 'Beau' Wilson, where the latter was killed.

really easy to use, paid for cat park prior to arrival. easy to park and good signage through out.

Playground at Bloomsbury Square Gardens is one of our favourite places in Borough of Holborn. It is not an easy task - to find a playground here. There are a lot of offices, cafes and spaces for grown-ups but not for kids. Hence, after a nice day at British Museum or calm walk at Russell Square the main destination is this playground. It is a nicely refurbished area and allows kids to release their energy.

Online if you have the app prices are very cheap if you want to pay for parking for short or long periods of time and it's safe and secure

First time ever to use this garden, but had seen it sometimes atop a bus. Having bought lunch and not wanting to sit in the cafe because I'm forced to use the Covid 19 app, I found myself using this fairly peaceful little garden in the square. Adequate number of benches, and litter bins, made my lunch break quite pleasant on a sunny, late summer afternoon.

central located parking,

This public garden is an oasis of calm in the middle of of one of the worlds busiest cities, it is well kept, clean and tidy as well as beautifully laid out, working not far away it is easy to get to and nice to sit quietly or eat a packed lunch away from the offoce and the maddening (not just the madding!) Crowds.

Easy parking for UCHL

It's not a quiet Square, with a busy road at the side, but a nice enough place to sit. There are too many pigeons and too many people feeding them.

Easy access, good location, secure. Parking booked online massive discount on hourly rate.

Nice place to have lunch.

Alot of animal litter everywhere

(Translated by Google) Nice to spend a relaxing time (Original) Agradable para pasar un ratito relajado

Booked with Just Park, good price for 2.5 days but a bit if a faff trying to get out (call centre controlled)

Small park. Play area for children. Large Central area and path around perimeter. Plenty of benches around the place.

🌟

Quiet hidden park. Great place for a Zoom meeting. 😊

A lovely space for fresh air or to eat your sandwiches. Small playground for very young children.

Wow

It is very good a park. Because the people is free and relax

mind

Beautiful

(Translated by Google) A beautiful park, a huge guarded parking lot just below it. Very close to the British Museum. (Original) Piękny park, tuż pod nim ogromny parking strzeżony. Bardzo blisko do Muzem Brytyjskiego.

It's a pity it's so short.
