Monkwell Square

Monkwell Square is a London street and garden square. It forms part of the Barbican estate, and lies to the west of Wood Street.

The Worshipful Company of Barbers Barber-Surgeons' Hall was established in Monkwell Street in the 14th century. The Hall survived the Great Fire, but was destroyed by enemy bombing in the London Blitz in the Second World War. The modern hall was rebuilt approximately 10m to the east of the former site, in Monkwell Square^[1] by architect Terry Farrell.
