Walk through Lincoln's Inn Fields
Beste tijd om te bezoeken
Late spring through early autumn on weekday mornings, when the lawns are emptier and the sun filters through the plane trees. Lunchtimes draw office workers, so go before noon for a quieter stroll.
Budgettips
The square itself is completely free to enter, and the Sir John Soane Museum at the north edge is also free, though booking a timed ticket in advance is wise. For a budget lunch, grab takeaway from the nearby markets and sit on one of the park's benches.
Aanbevolen voor
Architecture enthusiasts, Picnickers and sun-seekers, Museum lovers, Solo travelers wanting a quiet break

Over
Korte feiten: Het grootste openbare plein van Londen beslaat ongeveer 7 hectare en dient sinds de jaren 1630 als groene long in Holborn. De omliggende terrassen behoorden tot de eerste geplande residentiële pleinen in Engeland en trokken opmerkelijke bewoners aan zoals Charles Dickens en de architect John Soane.
Hoogtepunten: Het westelijke terras van het plein verbergt een reeks originele 19e-eeuwse palen en hekken die oorspronkelijk waren ontworpen om vee uit de buurt te houden, nadat Lincoln's Inn Fields in de jaren 1600 dienst deed als veemarkt. Aan de noordkant kun je de sierlijke deuropening spotten van een gebouw dat ooit een van de vroegste openbare kunstgaleries van Londen huisvestte, de voorganger van de Dulwich Picture Gallery.
Insidertips
- Bring a blanket in summer, since the main lawn is open for lounging and picnicking when the weather cooperates
- Head to the southeast corner for the best photo of the Georgian terraces with the park foliage framing the shot
- Skip the central path on sunny lunchtimes, when nearby office workers flood the green space
- Pair your visit with the Sir John Soane Museum, whose top-lit rooms and paintings collection take about 90 minutes to explore
