Ideally located in the centre of Bloomsbury near Euston station, Woburn House is the perfect place for meetings and events in London. Take a break between meetings, stretch your legs and explore the beautiful gardens in the local area. They offer a rare slice of quiet and calm in the heart of the bustling city, where you can refresh while admiring their rich biodiversity and reducing your carbon footprint. Here are our top picks.
Tavistock Square gardens
Located just a few steps away from our meeting venue near Euston station, the relaxed and charming Tavistock Square Gardens has plenty of leafy trees to rest against as you read your favourite book or enjoy your lunch in between your meetings in London. This beautiful garden is full of history and is home to a famous statue of Mahatma Gandhi and a bust of former resident and Bloomsbury author, Virginia Woolf.

Gordon Square Gardens
The houses at Gordon Square were built between 1820 and 1850. The Gardens were designed and laid out by the 6th Duke of Bedford who named them after his second wife, Lady Georgina Gordon. The houses around the Square later became the focus of the Bloomsbury Group.
The Gardens have a wide variety of shrubs planted around the perimeter under mature plane trees. In the south west corner of the Gardens there is a well established area of woodland ground flora, including bluebells, cow parsley and dog violets.
The Gardens are managed to encourage wildlife by ensuring that some areas around the perimeter are left relatively undisturbed including areas of wild flowers and shrubbery. Ivy is allowed to grow on some trees to provide wildlife habitats.
