Cute little (actually quite large) park with plenty of seating and green space... lots of bus traffic and near handful of cafes and coffee shops !!

Chris Haines

Truly beautiful on a warm and sunny afternoon, whiling away the hours on benches by the fountain . Also there are free wifi benches !

Henrik Hägglund

Love British parks , they're cute and cozy . Grab a sandwich or coffee nearby and chillax for a while

Daniel

Just have a seat at one of the many benches , enjoy the foutains and fresh air and watch the squirrels.

Russell Square is a large garden square in the Bloomsbury neighborhood . Take in the greenery whilst enjoying a coffee at Caffe Tropea. The park is locked at night.

One of the best medium park squares in London. Cosy and relaxing on a summers day . If you work close by, it's a treat!

GoToMidtown

A great square for lunch , and with the British Museum & Brunswick Centre close, you are spoiled for cultural & retail choices. To see more of the area visit the GoToMidtown Shop, 56 New Oxford Street Read more

Instead of going to the nearby British Museums visit the Wellcome Collection at Euston Road , it offers exhibitions on science, medicine, art and design

Andrew Marks

Really lovely park , and across the street from Senate House and the British Museum . Perfect for a bit of peace .

Nice square near UCL and the British Museum , good place to sit and read a book in the sun

Ierax Holargeus

One of the very best parks of London. Equally beautiful all year long. Breathe and enjoy.

Ideal to pair with the British museum for a day out. Squirrels are often grazing off tourists here

Claire

Nice green escape in the middle of the city . Plenty of benches too.

Stuart Lambert

Cut east from the north east corner of the Square, along Bernard St... on your left you'll see the Brunswick Centre - a real nice 1960s building that has been restored and turned into a shopping place

Andrea

The perfect place for a cup of coffee during sunny days

A nice place to sit down and relax. I also think that the water fountain is not too bad.
