Oakley Square is a crescent-shaped garden square in Somers Town in Central London, close to Mornington Crescent and Camden Town. It is located in the London Borough of Camden and runs roughly northeastwards from Eversholt Street meeting with the southern end of Camden Street on its eastern side.

It was originally part of the

Grade II listed[3] as are a number of the houses.[4][5]

From 1854 the square was home to the

vicarage still survives, which is also now Grade II listed.[6]
