Mecklenburgh Square, Georgian garden square in Bloomsbury, England
The two-acre garden features formal lawns, gravel paths, mature plane trees, and a dedicated section containing plants native to New Zealand.
Built between 1809 and 1810, the square received its name from Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, wife of King George III.
Virginia Woolf operated the Hogarth Press from number 37 until 1940, when German bombing during World War II destroyed the building.
The garden remains private, with access limited to local residents except during the Open Garden Squares Weekend each June.
The original garden paths from over 200 years ago maintain their exact layout, marking an unchanged element of London's urban design.
