    Lovely place for a walk 🚢 between classes at UCL πŸ›οΈ and I like the history behind the park especially the Tagore statue πŸ—Ώ giving an insight into the past. The park 🏞️ is spacious with some nice places to sit and reflect and relax. The gardening makes the park resembles something from Alice in Wonderland. πŸ˜‡

    It's a great oblong (def not square). Great little cafe. Beautiful mature trees so plenty of shade if you want. Good place to walk your rabbits as well.

    My uni is near Gordon Sqaure so I come to relax quite often. 😊 I like the trees, flowers, birds, squirrels, and many cute friends living here and pop up in front of your camera lens. πŸ˜‰ I feel the exchanges of season and great minds all around here. There is also a lovely cafe which I would like to visit at some point! (β˜… Ο‰ β˜…)

    One of my favorite places in London with so much history. Every time I come around I feel the intellectual spirit of London's extraordinary Bloomsbury Group that broke up conventional and conservative literary writing and perception.

    Just a tiny garden to meet and greet I'd say. A good place for lunch break if you work or study around. Also has a cafe in the park which could be very handy. No big activities can be done here, ball games not allowed.

    Gordon Square is a public park square in Bloomsbury, London, England. It was designed as one of a pair with the nearby Tavistock Square. It is owned by the University of London. In summer, the square is a beautiful place to jog, stroll, have lunch, picnics and enjoy the outside air with blossoming flowers and beautiful trees. The square contains many London plane and other trees, a number of flower beds and grass plots. There are two statues installed: A sculpture of the Indian poet, philosopher and Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941), (sculptor Shenda Amery). A memorial bust of Noor Inayat Khan (1914-44). Noor had once lived nearby; an SOE agent who infiltrated occupied France, she was executed at Dachau Concentration Camp and was honoured with the GC, MBE and Croix de Guerre.

    Good green space for students on a lunch break but it gets very crowded on sunny days and the grass is wearing thin in more then one place. If you're near by and need a place to sit outside for a coffee or lunch, terrific! But definitely wouldn't try to come here specially.

    This is a very nice and quiet place, mainly on sundays, is not that big but it's nice, there are plenty of benches and the grass is well looked after. In front of it there is a Starbucks and a Pret a manger, so if you want to have a nice lunch or coffee in the open, admiring the beauty of mother nature this is the place. (Note, no barbecues, cycling and ball games are allowed)

  • 5/5 Graham L. 1 year ago on Google
    A lovely garden with many places to sit amongst beautiful trees. If you want a good place to come for your lunch bring a picnic and enjoy the peace and quiet in a place you sit or stroll around. This is a favourite place to visit.

    Small garden open to the public in the middle of Bloomsbury, surrounded by University College London.

    Security staff at this park is utterly ignorant of assistance dog law. They will harass assistance dog owners around the park. They would not listen if you try to explain. They will add to your trauma of being discriminated. Do not use this park if you own an assistance dog. However, security welcomes perfectly abled humans with non assistance dogs, they are ableist.

    a small park with area for people to do picnic or even sunbathing! There’s also a kiosk for you to buy some snacks or drinks!

    Gordon Square is a public square and garden in the Bloomsbury area of London. It's well maintained and a nice place for a stroll or just sitting down on the many benches in the garden. There aren't that much flowers in the gardens, but it lovely when in bloom in the summer. The gardens has two interesting busts. One of Rabindranath Tagore, the Bengali polymath and the other of Noor Inayat Khan, the British Second World War spy renowned for her service in the Special Operations Executive, and executed after being captured by the Germans on her last mission.
