Bridgewater Square, London

Squares in the City of London

Bridgewater Square is a residential square in the Ward or Parish of St Giles Cripplegate, in the City of London. It was formed from the gardens of the former mansion Bridgewater House, long the home of the Earls of Bridgewater, which was destroyed by fire in 1687 when the then Earl's sons, Charles Egerton, styled Viscount Brackley, aged 11, and his younger brother, Thomas Egerton, aged 8, and their tutor were all burnt to death. The mansion, which was not rebuilt, had been on the east side of Aldersgate Street, near the Barbican, with gardens on the south side of the house.
