Lovely open public space with a nicely sized indoor eating area and plenty of outdoor space for the public. Fun water feature, which is usually active daily at certain times. Great for a quick bite to eat, social meetup or a bit of peace.

Nice place downtown Aldgate to take a break, perhaps with a drink ;)

A very nice place to sit and watch dogs play in the grass xx

Lovely square for toddlers and slightly older children to play in the fountains. The fountains go through a cycle of different patterns which makes for sun surprises. Plenty of grass and walls to sit on. Cafe/bar which we didn’t try but looked lovely and pleasant.

Alegaré Square is a wonderful spot for casual hangouts. Visit Aldgate Tap, enjoy a pint, and relax on the grass with friends – that's exactly what I did. I strongly suggest anyone to explore this area after work, especially during the summer. Unwind with a drink and linger as much as you'd like.

An old and new mixed neighborhood with a 12th century church continuosly serving the community. St. Botolph's is a marvelous site to visit.

Aldgate Square provides a pretty patch of green in the middle of the city.

There’s a patch of grass, water fountains and many benches to sit on.

Although the square isn’t all that big, it’s a small break away from its concrete surrounds and makes for a great lunch spot or a peaceful spot to sit.

🐌 Until May 2023, Aldgate Square is also home to a work of art by Jocelyn McGregor called “Earthlings.”

Located between the square and St Botolph's church, the snail sculptures each feature a shell and human limb instead of their usual slimy body.

The snails cause you to slow down as you pass and it’s encouraged to perch beside one so it’s okay to let children explore them. After May 2023, a piece by Emii Alrai will replace the snails.

Nearby, there’s also a variety of coffee shops and Aldgate underground station. 🚆

Beautiful place to sit and chat or have lunch. It’s located near to many IT companies and banks. Always crowded as the place is lovely and calm. Often see kids practising their skating here.
During march end and April the place is pink with all the cherry blossoms present. So lovely to look at. 😍
