Formerly the garden of the residence of Robert Sidney, Duke of Leicester and French ambassador between 1636 and 1641, it first became a public garden in 1874 before becoming a busy pedestrian square. Since the 19th century, the square has enjoyed a reputation as an entertainment hub, home to a plethora of cinemas, bars and nightclubs, offering visitors a wide range of revelry. Its most famous residents: William Hogarth, Joshua Reynolds, Isaac Newton. The fountain in the center of the square is a tribute to Shakespeare.
