Claremont Square is a square in the Angel (Pentonville) part of Islington, London. Its central green mound, covering a reservoir, is dotted with mature trees on all four embanked sides. It is lined on the south, east and west sides by early-19th-century houses, and on the north side, across Pentonville Road, by heavily recessed apartment/office buildings. It was developed in the 1820s by the New River Company around their then-open reservoir, the Upper Pond, which was covered over in 1856.
