Bedford Square Gardens

I had the chance to visit Bedford Square Gardens recently, and it felt like stepping into a quiet, hidden pocket of green right in the middle of London. Surrounded by beautiful Georgian architecture, the gardens have a peaceful, almost secret atmosphere that makes you forget you’re just a short walk away from busy Tottenham Court Road.

A private park in the middle of London seems to be a somewhat outdated notion. I guess the surrounding residents want to keep it to themselves. Anyway, do go there as you cannot get in...

Beautiful and completely preserved square completed in approximately 1775. The garden itself is still a private park similar to Gramercy Park in New York.

The Cocktails In the City was held at the Bedford Square Gardens. The garden's are not usually open to the public as it is a private garden for residents of Bedford Square. The garden's are well maintained and a great place for local residents to enjoy. The event was well organised and the venue ideal.

This is a private park and we usually go here with friends that have access to the park. Recently went here for cocktails in the city (a summer event which is open to the public) and cannot recommend it enough!! There’s ice carving, cocktail making sessions, tequila and rum sessions, food carts, at least 10 cocktail places and more. A fantastic way to spend a summer evening!

A "Jewell" in the crown of gardens! Stunning park with plenty of greenery & amazing history! Even the railing around this garden the original one from the 18th century. It's for private use only & you can only get in & out with a key. However once a year they host a Bedford Square Festival when the gate is open to public.

Bedford Square is a garden square in Bloomsbury that was built in the late 18th century on land owned by the Duke of Bedford, hence the name. The surrounding buildings are all examples of Georgian Architecture and once housed man distinguished British occupants such as Lord Eldon, the longest serving Lord Chancellor. Now the buildings are mostly commercial buildings As for the gardens itself, it's only accessible to the residents, so if coming to see this place, all you can look at is some nice buildings. I'd recommend going to the nearby Russell Square or Tavistock Square instead for the architecture and you'd get to see the gardens as well.

Great private garden! Very peaceful for central London.
