Milner Square, just off Upper Street, Islington, London, was built in 1841, to the design of Alexander Dick Gough and Robert Louis Roumieu, but in its austere functionality resembles much early 20th-century architecture. The author suggests that it is a rare example of an evolving neo-Classical style which was interrupted by the Gothic revival of the 1830s; to some extent it foreshadows neo-Classicism of the type found in steel-framed public or commercial buildings of the 1920s and 1930s.
