University’s no-go squares are back in shape

HISTORIC Bloomsbury squares that were no-go zones because of drug addicts were re-opened by Her Royal Highness Princess Anne this week after a seven-year, £1.5million restoration project.
Woburn and Gordon Squares, owned by the University of London, were given the makeover by the university with the help of experts from English Heritage who embarked on a seven-year investigation to find out how they originally looked.
Project manager Drew Bennillick, a landscape architect who works for English Heritage, said: “London is a city of squares – we have over 600 of them in the capital, a vast number compared to any other city in the UK or Europe.”
