Vincent Square is a large grass-covered square in Westminster, London, England, covering 13 acres.[1][2] It provides playing fields for Westminster School, which privately owns it.
It was created by Dean Vincent, Headmaster of Westminster School, a few hundred yards away, who, on seeing that development was beginning to encroach on the wastelands of Tothill Fields (which was a former plague pit), paid for a bank and ditch to enclose a suitable playing area for the schoolboys .
After the Second World War, the School resisted the efforts of the local authority to make the Square available for public use .
The square contains a cricket pavilion [1], four football pitches, several tennis courts, and the groundsman's house, and is used every weekday by Westminster Under School during breaks.
