Vincent Square is a large grass-covered square in Westminster, London, England, covering 13 acres. It provides playing fields for Westminster School.
It was created by Dean Vincent of Westminster School, a few hundred yards away, who, on seeing that development was beginning to encroach on the wastelands of Tothill Fields, paid for a bank and ditch to enclose a suitable playing area for the schoolboys [citation needed].
After the Second World War, the School resisted the efforts of the local authority to make the Square available for public use [citation needed].
There is a cricket pavilion on the Square [1].
The names of the football pitches, working clockwise are, Pavillion, Battlefield, Bonfire and Park.
