    One example: Berkeley Square in London.  In form, it's a public
    garden, but even the English designate it a town square. As I
    understand it, an Englishman would not raise eyebrows at a
    sentence: "Winston Churchill, as a child, lived in Berkeley
    Square.  The Churchills' house, № 48, is the one entirely
    residential building remaining there; the rest of the buildings
    are all offices of financial concerns, much like the rest of
    Mayfair."



The thing is that squares often also serve as addresses and can be
somehow seen very similar to streets, so the same as you can live in a
street (meaning you live in a house on this street), you could also
live on a square (a house bordering this square). At least it works
like this in some languages I am aware of.

Cheers

Like in Portugal, for example. In most cases, the name of the square is
the address of the adjacent buildings.
