While called a ’square’, it is more of a lane which has a community of residents which opens itself for a summer Open Day once every year.

It was designed by the noted Victorian architect Charles Henry Driver, who also designed some of London’s great pumping stations. It is unknown whether Driver was also a fan of billiards - opportunities to play on the green baize seem to dominate the station whether by design or accident. The image features a huge group of men. It’s also unknown if they are the station’s many billiards players gathered for a group photo. TUM image id: 1707500912 Licence:
