Fassett Square, Garden square in Hackney, London, England
The Victorian garden features winding paths around island beds with grass areas, surrounded by residential buildings and original lime trees.
The square emerged during London's Victorian development period when residential districts incorporated communal green spaces for neighborhood enhancement.
The BBC production team selected this square as the primary inspiration for Albert Square in the television series EastEnders.
Visitors can enter through the north gate using postcode E8 1DQ, with Hackney Downs and Dalston stations within walking distance.
Grade II-listed Bruno Court, influenced by Bauhaus architecture, stands at one corner of the square, reflecting its connection to the former German Hospital.
