The Montague Secret Garden

Bloomsbury’s Historic Garden Squares

Bloomsbury is famous for its garden squares, which were first created in the 18th century as part of the area’s Georgian design. These green spaces were originally conceived as shared gardens for surrounding residents, offering a place to stroll, socialise, and escape the busy streets of the growing city.

Over the centuries they have remained treasured sanctuaries at the centre of the neighbourhood, framing the elegant architecture and cultural institutions that make Bloomsbury so distinctive today.

Montague Street Gardens continues this tradition. Normally reserved for local residents, the gardens are opened exclusively for special occasions, allowing visitors to experience a rare glimpse of one of London’s historic private squares.
