Bedford Square, Bloomsbury, London - a photo on Flickriver

            Bedford Square is one of the best-preserved squares in London, and widely regarded as its most beautiful. It was laid out between 1775 and 1780, designed as a whole and surrounded by terraces with pedimented, stucco-faced central houses on each of its sides. 

The square takes its name from the main title of the Russell family, the Dukes of Bedford, who owned much of the land in what is now Bloomsbury. Famous residents living within the period buildings overlooking the square have included: Thomas Leverton, the architect of the square; the second Duke of Devonshire; the architect William Butterfield; Prime Minister H H Asquith; Lord Eldon, the Lord Chancellor; Henry Cavendish, scientist.
