Myddelton Square is the largest square in the Clerkenwell part of Islington, London. It is a residential public garden square, built in the 1820s and 1830s, with a playground and many trees. Its houses are built with exposed brickwork in Georgian style, with high-ceilinged ground and first-floor storeys. There is a large Gothic Revival church in the centre of the square. It is considered by some to be Islington's best and most important adornment of the New River Estate, and, stylistically, it is the most cohesive in the district.
