Queen Square, London

It was formed from the garden of the house of Sir John Cutler, baronet (1608–1693), whose last surviving child, Lady Radnor, died in 1697 leaving no issue.

The church's rector from 1747 to 1765 was the famous antiquary William Stukeley, whose rectory was next to the residence of the duke of Powis.

It became a favoured centre for charitable institutions, including the Roman Catholic Aged Poor Society at No.

The Institute of Neurology, part of University College London (UCL), is located in the north east corner of the square.

Several buildings on the west side of the square are devoted to medical research and are part of the Institute of Neurology and other departments of UCL.

The Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging (commonly referred to as the Functional Imaging Laboratory) is located at number 12.

At the southern end of the square is the church mentioned above, the Mary Ward Centre for adult education, and the former Italian Hospital,[8] now part of Great Ormond Street Hospital for children (whose main buildings are in Great Ormond Street, off Queen Square).
