Myddelton Square


Myddelton Square is the largest square in London's Clerkenwell district.

The square was laid out by William Chadwell Mylne, and there are 75 houses, by 13 different builders, all constructed in a Georgian style, from 1822 to 1843, with a church, St Mark's in the middle.

All of the houses are Grade II listed, as is the church.

The square is named after Sir Hugh Myddelton (1560–1631), the founder of the New River Company, who developed the square.

The dramatist, actor and theatre manager, Thomas John Dibdin (1771–1841) was of the first residents, moving into no 7 in 1826-27.
