Welcome to the Garden

A Place Apart from the City Noise

Fitzroy Square is one of London’s best-kept secrets — a Georgian square and garden in the heart of Fitzrovia, surrounded by the finest Robert Adam terraces in the capital. The east and south terraces, completed in Portland stone between 1794 and 1798, are the last work of Robert Adam.

Managed by the Fitzroy Square Frontagers’ and Garden Committee, the garden opens to the public at lunchtimes on selected weekdays during the summer months — offering a rare chance to step inside one of London’s private squares.
