Brunswick Square Gardens & FOBS

The extension of our area of benefit in May 2008 brought the long neglected Brunswick Square Gardens into our domain. This English Heritage Registered Georgian garden, which dates back to 1790, had seen very little investment since the site was refurbished by Camden Council in 2002/3.

At our 2008 AGM we launched the Friends of Brunswick Square (FOBS) and 20 residents signed up. Since then we have witnessed some improvements to the upkeep of the gardens and the adjacent verge, as well as the upgrading of footways throughout the square. FOBS have participated in the Open Garden Squares weekend every year since 2009 and the Brunswick Plane, planted in 1796 and reputed to be the second oldest London Plane tree in the capital, was honoured as one of the Great Trees of Britain.

FOBS members, who have worked tirelessly to organise regular public events in the gardens since inception, elected a new Committee at it's Annual General Meeting in September 2012. New members are always welcome, so if you want to get involved you can register your interest at one of their events or contact them via the link to their web site, below. Details of events held in Brunswick Square Gardens will be posted on the garden railings and on the FOBS web site (link below).
