Hereford Square

[1][2] The private communal gardens in the centre of Hereford Square are 0.3692 hectares (0.912 acres) in size.

[4] Many sites have been altered in the manner of extra floors and the directly bomb struck houses from World War II have been rebuilt to imitate their original style.

The houses all follow a relatively similar design with landings, many floors and an underground garage or a large basement.

[12] The writer and social activist Frances Power Cobbe lived with her partner, the sculptor Mary Lloyd, at No.

[13] The central character in Iris Murdoch's A Severed Head lives in Hereford Square.
