SE1's nicest squares

What are the nicest squares to live in in & around SE1? In terms of aesthetics / history / location/ anything!

Merrick Square is lovely - I prefer it to next door Trinity Church St...

West Square SE11, just behind the Imperial War Museum, is a delight.

Ooh I just remembered there's a lovely square near Vauxhall, Bonnington Sq I think it's called.

I vote for Merrick Square as well it really is a nice sq and lovely houses round there also

I was left breathless running through Trinity Church Square for the first time, last Saturday. Gets my vote.

Not quite SE1 but I've always lusted after a house in Cleaver Square - virtually no traffic or tall buildings :-)

......and a great pub where you can take your pint outside and play boules on the square...now that's perfect on a sunny day.

Cleaver Square Kennington is Gorgeous.
We had lunch there for my husband's bday last July with a few friends sat outside the pub on a hot day, it was so peaceful.
I also love West Square- although it's slightly spoiled by the nasty modern stuff in one corner.

Thorburn Square? A lovely high victorian church surrounded by an excellent example of 60s/70s social housing utopian 'habitation'.

The council was fore-sighted enough to clear the square of all the tumbly-down victorian villas surrounding the church.

The surrounding intact streets are to become a conservation area i hear...
