Fitzroy Square, London, UK
Fitzroy Square is one of the Georgian squares in London and is the only one found in the central London area known as in Fitzrovia. Today, the square is largely pedestrianised (scheme designed by Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe). In 2008 the square was upgraded by relaying most of the surface at a single level, removing street clutter such as bollards, and further restricting vehicular access. -- Wikipedia
