Squares of London

Coulter, John, 1951-2016
Books
The history of the London square begins in 1631 with the great name of Inigo Jones, whose houses and church in Convent Garden were both started in that year. Lincolns Inn Fields followed from 1638, though Southampton (now Bloomsbury) Square was the first to formally bear that name. Then the Georgian age ushered in the second great wave of square building. This collection provides an alphabetical guide to all 578 historic London squares, whether large, small, famous, obscure, existing or long vanished.
