Argyle Square, Garden square in Kings Cross, London, England
Argyle Square is a garden square near King's Cross in North London with a rectangular layout. The space features maintained lawns, paved paths, trees, and various plants spread across several hundred square meters.
The square was created in the 1830s on a former waste site and named after the Duke of Argyle, who held land in the area. This development shaped the neighborhood as an upscale residential district with a series of brick townhouses.
The square is surrounded by 19th-century buildings that reflect the typical appearance of a London garden square. Local residents use this space to relax and enjoy green surroundings in the middle of a built-up neighborhood.
The square is very close to King's Cross St Pancras Underground station, making it easy to reach. You will find several benches for resting, but there are no additional facilities such as cafes or public restrooms on-site.
Since 2009, the group Friends of Argyle Square has cared for repairs and improvements of the space. The group actively works to promote and protect biodiversity in this urban green area.
