Norfolk Square Garden (London)

United Kingdom / England / London / Norfolk Square
 square, garden

This is a beautiful place where you could find many cheap hostels around. It is a quiet space where people can sit quietly and relax in an otherwise busy location just yards from Paddington Railway Station.
Norfolk Square was laid out after 1842 on the site of the former Upper South Reservoir of the Grand Junction Canal Company, possibly to the design of George Gutch. The garden was originally provided for the private use of inhabitants of the Square. The area later became invaded by minor hotels, and a block of flats replaced a church at the north end of the square. The garden became dilapidated and in 1989 was acquired by Westminster City Council through compulsory purchase. It was completely re-landscaped with new paths, shrub planting and railings, and opened to the public in autumn 1990.
