Russell Square
United Kingdom / London, England
Location ID: #10140176
Russell Square is a large garden square in Bloomsbury. The square is surrounded by large terraced houses, University of London buildings and the imposing Kimpton Fitzroy London Hotel., built in 1898. In 2002 the square was re-landscaped in a style based on the original early 19th century layout and the cafe in the square was redeveloped. The centrepiece of the new design is a fountain with jets playing directly from the pavement. There is also a Grade II listed cabmen's shelter.
