Grosvenor Square, Grade II listed garden square in Mayfair, London.

Grosvenor Square spans 2.5 hectares with open lawns, making it the second largest square in London after Lincoln's Inn Fields.

The square originated in the 1720s when gardener John Alston designed it as London's first garden square, establishing a new standard for urban landscaping.

The area holds strong American connections, with John Adams establishing the first American mission in 1785 and later housing the US Embassy.

Professional photography and filming requests at Grosvenor Square require prior authorization through Location Collective management.

A memorial garden in the eastern section contains steel from the World Trade Center and commemorates 67 British victims of September 11.
