Manchester Square, Garden square in Marylebone, London, UK
Manchester Square is a Georgian residential square in Marylebone featuring elegant townhouses arranged around a private central garden. Hertford House, the most prominent building on the square, now functions as a museum housing an important private art collection.
Development of the square began in the 1770s as part of Marylebone's expansion during that era. Hertford House became the square's dominant building and was later converted to house a renowned art collection.
The square reflects 18th-century life through its Georgian townhouses, which still define the streetscape and show how London's wealthy residents lived during that era. The elegant facades and central garden create a quiet retreat within bustling Marylebone.
The square is centrally located with good public transport connections nearby. Since the central garden is private with access only for residents, visitors cannot enter the interior space but can explore the surrounding buildings and the outer perimeter.
The square became part of music history when a famous British band photographed an iconic album cover there during the 1960s. The fire station that once served the area was transformed into a luxury hotel in the 2000s.
