Lot of greens, fountain, a bit of seating, cafe and a lot of happy people relaxing here It is quite big compared to other squares in London

You can bet that when the sun is out, this place will always be buzzing, particularly during the academic year. So, if you don't feel like heading to one of the Royal Parks, head here for a stroll in the gardens.

This review is of Café Russell-- its a nice little café, reasonable prices for the center of London; a bruschetta, giant rice meatball, and simple salad plus a water was only 12.50, hard to find that elsewhere.
