This was originally an open square with late C18th terraced houses on its north and east sides. It was renamed Trafalgar Square after Nelson's victory of 1805, the first of four such squares in London. By 1813 there were terraced houses on the south side. A circular garden was later replaced by a rectangular garden that opened to the public in 1885 as Trafalgar Square Garden, the name changed to Trafalgar Gardens in 1937. It is now entirely hard paved and used as playground with a block of basketball courts behind high fencing.

Trafalgar Square was laid out in the 1820s onwards as part of John Nash's redevelopment of the West End. It stands on the former site of the King's Mews and was designed to enhance the setting of the new National Gallery and to connect the Strand with the West End. Dominated by Nelson's Column, it became a focal point for the commemoration of imperial heroes and as the favoured rallying place for momentous social and political events.

Tredegar Square was laid out from 1828 with houses designed for prosperous merchants. It is named after Sir Charles Morgan of Tredegar who owned land at Mile End. At least two, and possibly all four sides of the square were built by William Miller, who sought to emulate John Nash. In 1888 the central garden comprised a simple rectilinear system of paths, but it was later re-landscaped as a large central circle intersected by four auriculate lobes with a central hard paved area.

Trent Park was formerly part of the royal hunting park of Enfield Chase. When it was enclosed after 1777 a small part was retained as a miniature hunting park, the principal portion granted to Dr Richard Jebb, as a reward for saving the life of the King's brother at Trento in the Austria. A deer park and lake were laid out and an old lodge converted into Trent Place. After Jebb’s death the estate had various owners and in 1833 was bought by David Bevan, whose son Robert inherited in 1837 and renamed the estate Trent Park, which by mid-C19th covered 1,215 ha. In 1909 it was sold to Sir Edward Sassoon and inherited in 1912 by his son Philip who rebuilt parts of the house and laid out new formal gardens. In 1947 the house and c.81 ha. became Trent Park Teachers' Training College, and in 1951 the entire estate was compulsorily purchased by MCC as Green Belt land. In 1968 most of the land became Trent Country Park, which was officially opened in 1973.

Trent Park Cemetery was opened in 1960 by Islington Council. The land was formerly in agricultural use but had once been part of the hunting park of Enfield Chase at its far western edge. When the Chase was enclosed after 1777 a small part was retained as a miniature hunting park and became Trent Park, which by mid-C19th covered 1,215 ha. A farm called West Farm existed at Cockfosters from at least the C16th and was added to the Trent Park estate in the C19th. The cemetery has a small brick chapel near the entrance that contains a Book of Remembrance.

Trevor Square is a small secluded square surrounding an oblong private garden that was built as part of a planned residential development in the early C19th, named after the Trevor family, who continued to own the land until the early C20th. In c.1704 Sir John Trevor had leased a late C17th mansion here, later called Powis House after a later tenant, purchasing the freehold in c.1715 when he acquired additional adjacent land. The garden is surrounded by a high hedge and chain link fence and is laid out with an oblong lawn with crescent beds at either end. A number of the early C19th buildings remain and 10 C19th cast-iron lamp standards surround the garden.

The Triangle Garden is a communal gardens in the triangle formed by Randolph Crescent, Clifton Gardens and Randolph Avenue. Until c.1980 much of this area was within the Paddington Estate of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, administered by Trustees. Developed in the mid C19th, much of the housing here had communal gardens provided for the use of occupiers of the surrounding houses. The white stucco houses date from the 1860s and the peaceful garden has formal and informal beds and a central island with London plane trees that are over 100 years old.

Trinity Church Square was laid out in 1824-32 on land belonging to the Corporation of Trinity House. Adjacent to the garden is the church of Holy Trinity, built in 1823-24, and since 1975 converted into the Henry Wood Hall for music rehearsal. The garden is private and laid out with lawn, shrubs, ornamental planting and mature plane trees. Within it is the statue of a king on a stone pedestal, late C14th in style, which was erected here by 1836 and may have once been in Westminster Hall. The garden has undergone re-planting in 2000 and in 2002 Trinity Street was closed to through-traffic.

Trinity Gardens is an elongated triangle north of Bounds Green Road that was laid out as public gardens in two phases. Initially the east end of the site known as Finsbury Gardens was created between 1864-94 and in the second phase between 1896-1906 the remainder of the site was laid out, the whole area now named Trinity Gardens. At that time the obelisk drinking fountain that commemorates Mrs Catharine Smithies of Earlham Grove was relocated to its present site in Trinity Gardens.

Trinity Square was laid out in 1850 at the rear of Trinity Asylum, women's almshouses built in 1822. The original C19th houses survive on three sides of the square, and by the early C20th an enclosure in the centre of the square was let to the licensee of the Trinity Arms as an allotment garden. In 1931 Mr Stenton Covington began to raise funds for its purchase on the condition that the local authority would maintain it as a public open space. As a result it was conveyed to Lambeth Borough Council following agreement to lay it out as a public garden dedicated to children's recreation. In the early C21st the garden was re-landscaped with new seating, planting, and gates.

Trinity Hospital or Almshouses were built in 1695 by the Corporation of Trinity House to house retired master mariners or their widows. The land was donated by Captain Henry Mudd of Ratcliffe. The almshouses formed two rows either side of a small oblong green, with a central chapel. The path layout remains little changed, although the green was once enclosed by a wooden palisade fence and there are now two rows of dwarf trees. The almshouses were purchased by the LCC in 1954 then transferred to Stepney Borough Council for rented accommodation and renamed Trinity Green.

Trinity Hospital almshouses were founded by the Earl of Northampton, on the site of Lumley House, where Robert Dudley, Duke of Leicester grew up, and Queen Elizabeth I is known to have visited. Northampton set up his charity in 1613 for 12 'poor men' of Greenwich and 8 from Shottisham in Norfolk, the place of his birth, hence the name Norfolk College by which the almshouses were also known. He demolished Lumley House and Trinity Hospital was built in 1613/14, facing onto the river and set around a quadrangle with cloisters around a courtyard, and simple gardens behind.
