Brunswick Square is a public garden in Bloomsbury, in the London Borough of Camden. It is overlooked by the School of Pharmacy and the Foundling Museum to the north and the Brunswick Centre to the west. South of it lies International Hall (a hall of residence of the University of London), and on its west side are the two separate but related children's charities, Coram Family and Coram's Fields.
Brunswick Square was originally part of the grounds of the Foundling Hospital.
Mecklenburgh Square is a matching square to the east. Russell Square is the nearest tube station to the south-west.
In Jane Austen's book Emma, the characters of Mr. and Mrs. John Knightley make their residence in Brunswick Square.
The writer E.M. Forster used 26 Brunswick Square as his London base from 1930 to 1939.[1]
