Gordon Square, Garden square in Bloomsbury, London Borough of Camden, England
The Gordon Square gardens feature winding gravel walkways between grass areas, complemented by London plane trees and seasonal flower displays throughout the year.
The square emerged in the early 19th century as part of the Bedford Estate development, transforming this section of Bloomsbury into a residential district.
Members of the Bloomsbury Group, including Virginia Woolf and E.M. Forster, gathered in houses around the square to discuss literature and philosophy.
The garden remains open to visitors at all times, with numerous benches positioned along the paths and convenient access from Russell Square tube station.
Two bronze sculptures stand in the square: a statue of Rabindranath Tagore and a memorial bust of Noor Inayat Khan, both installed in the 2010s.
