Talbot Square was laid out in 1842 on the site of the former Lower Reservoir of the Grand Junction Canal Company.

Talbot Square was laid out probably to the design of George Gutch. The square’s central garden was originally reserved for the use of occupants of the surrounding properties who were jointly responsible for its maintenance.

There are two notable London plane trees dating from the earliest layout. The main entrance onto Sussex Gardens has a metalwork arch.
