About Berkeley Square, Bristol
Urban Environment, Cultural, Interesting Places, Squares
Berkeley Square is close to Park Street in the Clifton area of Bristol.
It was laid out around 1790 in Georgian style with a central grass area behind railings, by Thomas and William Paty.
Numbers 12-18 were damaged during the Bristol Blitz in World War II and were rebuilt to maintain the same facade.
Many of the buildings are now owned and used by the University of Bristol. These include the Institute for Learning and Research Technology (ILRT) and Technical Advisory Service for Images (TASI). Others are hotels and offices.
Number 24 was used as the main exterior in the BBC television drama The House of Eliott.
