Camden Square

[2] Notable residents include the artist Lawrence Alma-Tadema, the sculptors Henry Hugh Armstead and William Turnbull, the meteorologist George James Symons, the Indian politician V. K. Krishna Menon and the singer Amy Winehouse.

The square was developed from around 1845 to 1871, with St Paul's Church, by Frederick Webster Ordish and John Johnson, being started in 1847 and consecrated in 1849.

In the Second World War, the original railings surrounding the garden were removed and the square was severely damaged by bombing in 1940–41.

The London Irish Centre was founded in 1955 and an adventure playground was built by the council in the gardens in the 1950s.

The building on the south-west corner has Corinthian pilasters; the villas on the eastern side are less decorated, but have arched tops to their windows.

[8] In the years since her death, at least fourteen 'Camden Square' street signs have been stolen by fans seeking memorabilia, which has cost Camden Borough Council over £4000 to replace.
