Very peaceful and restful. Clean, tidy. Blossom looks great as do the Crown Imperial plants. Worth a walk around.

This is a very nice square in the city with a very good atmosphere. It is green and quiet and everyone comes here to relax at lunchtime. There is a statue of Gandhi in the middle, sometimes with flowers.

A little but nicely designed park where you can escape the rat race for a while. It's also got a lot of history to it, as displayed by statues of Virginia Woolf, Mahatma Ghandi and others.

Visited 25/01/2023 great walkway inside the perimeter of the garden seeing the various sculptures/monuments including Virginia Woolf and a Louisa Brandreth Aldrich-Blake monument, there is also a poignant monument next to the main road where the 07/07 bus tragedy occurred also in the centre is the Mahatma Ghandi monument. There is also a small footpath outside the perimeter if you want to do a further walk, worth a visit if your in the area and there is a Pret & Starbucks on the main road if you need a fix of coffee etc.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lovely square with lots of places to sit. It must be really nice in the summer as even in mid-November it was leafy. There are interesting monuments and plaques dotted are around and a sobering memorial stone to the victims of the 7/7 bus bombing. The square is locked at night.

This is a nice little green space in a busy city, where you can take a moment to just sit and relax. The park itself is located just 5 minutes walk for the busy Euston Station in London, so if you have some time to waste waiting for a train it is a good place to get away to. The area itself is quite busy with a least 7 hotels within 1 to 5 minutes away. During the late spring to early fall the square is quite green and calming. There is a statue of Mahatma Gandhi that occupies the centre of the square. Floral tributes are normally left here. The space also contains a plaque to memorialize the victims of the bus bombing in 2005 that took place near the square. There are also sculptures of other historical people here.

This is a small park, full of birds, some squirrels and surrounded by some nice trees. Currently it's being look after to make grass grow and some green areas a closed. Luckily the grass will grow by summer. There are some benches and in front of the park there are a couple of coffee shops like Starbucks and Pret. You could buy a nice coffee and or your lunch and sit down in the park to have a quiet moment. There are plenty of bins to dispose of your food or rubbish and no excuse for leaving it behind. Please, help us to maintain these green areas in the city clean, because, unfortunately some people don't respect the park and leave the rubbish all over the place, ruining the view and most of it ruining the house of the animals that leave here 😑.

This is a nice park to visit during the autumn season but perhaps it is better to see during the warmer months when Travistock's trees are flush green and full of leaves, and when the garden flowers are in bloom.

We recently passed by Travistock and greatly enjoyed spending a bit of time here in the morning relaxing prior to making our way onward to the British Museum.

This small city park, like others in the area, opens at 7.30am and makes a nice place to have a rest to read the paper or enjoy a morning cup of coffee prior to your day of sightseeing.

The statues and monuments within the square also look nicer this time of year when they can be viewed against the darker green colours of surrounding vegetation.

We enjoy stopping by Travistock when visiting this area of the city. The square is usually quieter than larger area parks like Russell Square and Bloomsbury Square.
