Woburn Square is the smallest of the
Dukes of Bedford,[2]
who developed much of Bloomsbury.
The original construction was of 41 houses,[3] smaller than those of adjoining Gordon Square and hence with lower rents. The square was built on the boundary between the parishes of St. Pancras and Holborn and the boundary marker stones are still visible[4] in the gardens. The two squares were built to improve land that was originally marshland.
This narrow square was longer, extending down towards
Institute of Education
.
