Berkeley Square

A concise space of green smack dab in the middle of banking and filled with old men in suits having lunch on a nice sunny day. Most notably a Dale Chihuly sculpture is in the middle providing a flair of color in what is otherwise nature tones. Tons of wooden benches line the space so you can just sit and watch nature, people and while some time away

Small park in one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in London. Yes, there’s a Pret and an Eat on the periphery but when you’re finished drooling over your lunch, wander over and press your nose up against the glass of the Porsche dealer or the Rolls Royce sales floor or the Bentley show room.
Lots of benches and greenery, perfect on a warm and breezy day.

«Well I think Green Park is better for lunch than Berkeley Square” — so start our daily lunch conversation at work.
Yes, Green park might offer you green aplenty (the name gives it away) but it is still too cold and damp to sit on the ground.
Berkeley square has plenty of wooden benches and you never have to sit NEXT to an occupied bench (imagine the travesty of having to sit within 1 metre of someone else!)
The only thing is that crossing the road to the square is pretty much suicidal.
Otherwise a very lovely place to have a civilised pack lunch topped up with some hot soup from eat or pret (conveniently located opposite)

Berkeley Square is a lovely little plot in the middle of the Mayfair located on Berkeley Street with the south end ending at Charles Street and the north corner at Bruton Place.
This square is lined with benches, has a good bit of grass and a small monument in the middle. The park is open typically through sundown on all days. Unfortunately there is no ball play and drinking the water is not advised.
I find this is a good for a bit of a stroll, to sit down on a nice day and read a book, or just lounge on the grass. Plus you can sit and watch all the expensive luxury cars roll down Berkeley. Just try not to get hit by one, as the drivers tend to be driving fast; what a shock!
