Bedford Square
Bedford Square is a square in Bloomsbury.
Built between 1775 and 1783 as an upper middle class residential area. The square takes its name from the main title of the Russell family, the Dukes of Bedford, who were the main landlords in Bloomsbury.
Bedford Square is one of the best preserved pieces of Georgian architecture in London, but most of the houses have now been converted into offices. Numbers 1-10, 11, 12–27, 28–38 and 40–54 are grade I listed buildings. The central garden remains private.
