Franklin roosevelt memorial london

The gardens, previously oval, were re-planned as part of the installation of this statue.

Note: Carl Larsen draws our attention to one memorial that could be here but isn't: while walking in Grosvenor Square on 14 July 1965 Adlai Stevenson, the American politician, suffered a heart attack and died later that day at St George's Hospital.

In his 1875 ‘The Way We Live Now’ Anthony Trollope describes an event in this garden: an assignation between a young lady who lives in Grosvenor Square and her lover:

“Marie had the key of the gardens for her own use and had already learned that her neighbours in the square did not much frequent the place during church time on Sunday morning. ... Sir Felix ...{had} been assured by Didon {Marie’s maid} that the gate should be left unlocked, and that she would be there to close it after he had come in.” At the end of the meeting Marie says: “ ‘There’s Didon. Nobody’s looking and she can open that gate for you. When we’re gone, do you creep out. The gate can be left, you know. Then we’ll get out on the other side’. Marie was certainly a clever girl.” (p.382-7, vol.1, Penguin 2001)

This is such a large square we find it difficult to imagine it locked,
