About this space

Charterhouse Square is a timeless and famous oasis steeped in London's rich history. Positioned on the edge of the City and nestled between the historic areas of Smithfield and Clerkenwell, this square has played a prominent role in the city's history since at least the mid-14th century.

In recent years, Charterhouse Square has transformed, becoming a peaceful 'urban oasis' for the public can enjoy during Charterhouse opening hours. This privately owned space, adorned with lawns, mature trees, wild meadow areas, and planted beds, invites visitors to bask in its tranquillity.

Surrounded by a blend of residential properties, including notable examples of Georgian and Art Deco architecture, as well as a school and modern businesses, the square embodies the essence of London's architectural evolution. Whether you're seeking a moment of serenity, a scenic spot for relaxation, or a venue for an exclusive event, Charterhouse Square offers a versatile and enchanting setting.
