Although not strictly a ‘town square’ of Regency or Victorian origins, this is one of the largest open spaces in the south of Islington borough and is overlooked by several tall residential estate buildings. Open lawns partitioned by borders and shrubberies surround a central playground, covered way and paved sitting-out area. The garden is a popular place with local residents.
