HISTORY UKFebruary 10, 2011Laid out in the 1630s, this is the largest public square in London. Anthony Babbington, who led a plot to assassinate Queen Elizabeth I, was hanged, drawn and quartered here.Upvoted 1 week ago
Kritt NormsaskulJuly 18, 2015Great for relaxing with friends and a game of Rounders. Also an on-site cafe and tennis courts available for hire. Stone throw away from Holborn tube station and in the heart of legal London.
- Ben RobraJune 19, 2015It's a hidden gem I believe. Very good if you're out and about showing someone around London and want to catch some sun rays in quiet place in central London.
Gonny Zwaag, van derSeptember 16, 2018You won’t believe how quiet this park is on a morning, and yet so close to Holborn and Covent Garden. I went running there, when I stayed at the Hoxton. Very relaxing.
Chris HainesJuly 11, 2015A lovely and hidden Park in the centre of London, great for lunch in the park with the plenty of open space and benches around. Lovely and very scenic setting.
Chris WolfJune 9, 2016beautiful park & relaxed people - definately worth for a short break, if you are around covent garden.
Alana TongOctober 20, 2018There's some really nice hidden gardens round here somewhere in Bloomsbury but I can't remember and can never find them so I always come here instead... it's still good though!- Paul CanterburyMarch 28, 2016Look out for the plaque where they hung a lord and also the tree that was planted for queen Elizabeth's coronation in 1953.
Busy with office workers and students during the week, but a great spot to avoid the crowds at Covent Garden on the weekend- Pearson - Always LearningJune 13, 2013The largest public square in London, Lincoln’s Inn Fields is a wonderful spot to bask and study in the Summer. A breath of fresh air after class in 50 Lincoln’s Inn Fields.
Kristine LivOctober 30, 2017If you’re here on a sunny day AVOID lunchtime. All of the office people from around the area descend into this part
In Summer, a picnic blanket helps enjoyment of this park. There isn't a square meter of grass without a sprinkling of cigarette butts :-(
Marianna GavaMay 7, 2016Very nice park! Cozy and busy but not crazy on a Saturday :) Barbecue allowed!!!!
NikkiSeptember 5, 2014Lovely hidden cafe inside the park - perfect for coffee and cake or lunch. Glorious in the sunshine
Trees, quiet space, squirrels, café, tennis, benches
John HobbsJuly 12, 2017The largest public square in London; useful number of places to buy food nearby
Karinna NobbsJuly 11, 2013Grab food and drink from the nearby Fleet River Bakery, coffee and brownie do not disappoint
Robert PeakeJanuary 11, 2012Really nicely redone. Perfect spot for a lunch break on a rare sunny day in winter
It has tennis courts. Never knew that before. Apparently they've been there since the 17th century.
- Shortcut through missing fence, grass and trees in southeast corner!
Watch the really bad tennis players - then a drink from the bar overlooking the courts.

Lincoln's Inn Fields is the largest public square in London. It was laid out in the 1630s under the initiative of the speculative builder and contractor William Newton, "the first in a long series of entrepreneurs who took a hand in developing London", as Sir Nikolaus Pevsner observes.
