Brunswick Square, Public garden in Bloomsbury, London, United Kingdom
Brunswick Square features rectangular green lawns with mature trees, iron railings, and gravel paths crossing through its center layout.
The square emerged from the grounds of the former Foundling Hospital, established in 1739 as London's first home for abandoned children.
The square appears in Jane Austen's novel Emma as the residence of characters John and Isabella Knightley in London.
The Brunswick Square gardens remain open from morning until dusk, with Russell Square Underground station located 400 meters to the southwest.
The Foundling Museum at the northern edge exhibits artifacts from Britain's first children's charity alongside contemporary art installations.
