Thurloe Square
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thurloe Square is a traditional London square in South Kensington, London SW7, England.
There are private communal gardens in the centre of the Square for use by the local residents. The Victoria and Albert Museum is close by to the north across Thurloe Place and Cromwell Gardens. The nearest tube station is South Kensington to the west along Thurloe Street.
Sir Henry Cole (1808–1892), the first Director of the Victoria and Albert Museum, lived at 33 Thurloe Square just opposite the museum. The building is marked with a blue plaque and is now the Kazakhstan Embassy.
