English: North Side of Bedford Square. The pale coloured buildings are numbers 19 (nearest) and 18.
Bedford Square was designed and built mainly by Robert Grews and William Scott between 1775 and 1783, and is probably the finest example of a Georgian square in London. Thomas Leverton was also involved in the development, although the extent of his involvement is unclear - the are various views on this!
Unlike other squares, the great majority of the buildings here retain their original design, and many are grade 1 listed, including practically all the houses in this picture.
The pavements and roads were restored to the original layout in 2006, and traffic around the square is restricted so that it forms a quiet haven between Gower Street and Tottenham Court Road.
