The gate prevents through traffic from using Trinity Street, while still allowing cycles through. The Trinity estate was developed in the 1820s. It takes its name from Trinity House, the authority responsible for lighthouses in England, Wales, the Channel Islands and Gibraltar. Trinity House developed the square and still owns the freehold to most of the properties. The square is a Conservation Area, and most of the buildings are Grade II listed. More information about the square can be found on the Trinity Newington Residents' Association website http://www.tnra.net/index.php?nuc=content&id=95

Despite the name this street is unconnected with the Globe Theatre. There is a large plaque on the wall that reads: "C. Wallin & Co. Ltd. - Tin-Box Makers - Globe St. Works"

Looking north-west from adjacent to Merrick Square. There is a cycle rack in the foreground; this section of Trinity Street is closed to motor vehicles at the eastern end and in the middle (though accessible via Falmouth Road).

The statue in the centre of the garden outside the Henry Wood Hall [[847582]] represents King Alfred (871-899). It was transferred there in 1822 from Westminster Hall, where it had occupied a recess for 450 years which makes it allegedly the oldest statue in London.

The church of Holy Trinity, Newington was built in 1824 (architect: Francis Bedford), and Trinity Church Square developed around it. The name derives from being built on land granted by Trinity House. It is Grade II listed (reference 471419). It was declared redundant as a church in 1972, and the parish was united with St Matthew, Southwark in 1974; a rebuilt St Matthew's [[846450]] is now the parish church. The freehold of the site and building was sold in 1977 and it is now the Henry Wood Concert Hall. It was rebuilt internally as an open hall with a new west gallery. The bells were re-cast and re-hung in a now-demolished church in Waterloo and later moved to St Peter's Walworth [[339689]].

Formerly Great Suffolk Street East, this stretch of road forms the northern side of what is now Trinity Church Square. Although not fully pedestrianised it is very quiet because of traffic restrictions in the area. The area around the square is known as the Newington Trust Estate and more history can be found at http://www.tnra.net/estate/index.html
