About Bedford Square Publishers
Bedford Square is an independent publisher of fiction and non-fiction, founded in 2022 in the historic streets of Bedford Square, London.
THE Bedford Square
The publishers loved Bedford Square so much, they even named their publishing house after it. That, or the fact that is where they’re located.
Built between 1775 and 1786, Bedford Square is London’s finest and most complete Georgian square, setting the style for garden squares in London through the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
The square takes its name from the main title of the Russell family, the Dukes of Bedford, who owned much of the land in what is now Bloomsbury.
