Wellington Square, Garden square in central Oxford, England
Wellington Square features a central garden with expansive lawns surrounded by curved herbaceous beds and Georgian residential buildings at its perimeter.
The square replaced a workhouse from the 1870s and was named after the Duke of Wellington, who served as University Chancellor from 1834 to 1852.
The garden functions as a meeting point for university students and faculty members, hosting occasional academic gatherings and community events.
The garden remains accessible through a single gate on the east side, with the University Parks Service maintaining the grounds until nightfall.
A notable Giant Sequoia tree stands in the northeastern section of the garden, accompanied by four mature lime trees forming a strategic pattern.
