Lincoln's Inn Fields

Lincoln's Inn Fields is the largest public square in London. It was laid out in part by Inigo Jones in the 17th century and opened to the public after its acquisition by London County Council in 1895. It takes its name from the adjacent Lincoln's Inn, but should not be confused with the private gardens of Lincoln's Inn itself. Lincoln's Inn is separated from Lincoln's Inn Fields by a perimeter wall and a large gatehouse.
