Wikimedia Commons has media related to: Squares of London

London has many squares. A few such as as Trafalgar Square, were built as public open spaces, like the city squares found in many cities, but most of them originally contained private communal gardens for use by the inhabitants of the surrounding houses (these are sometimes known as garden squares). This type of space is most prevalent in central London, but squares are also found in the suburbs. Some of these gardens are now open to the public, while others are still private. "Square" is a generic term for such spaces, and many of them are not actually square, or even rectangular. Some have the word "square" in their name, while others do not.
