The John Soane Museum is located in the northern part of the square. The museum building was built by architect John Soane. It was assumed that this would be a house in which the master could live, work and store his extensive collection of antiques and art objects.

Among its exhibits are unique works of art of the Roman, Greek and Egyptian heritage, bronze and silver items, paintings, watches, a collection of ceramics, books, medals, jewelry, as well as stuffed cats and rats. The peculiarity of the John Soane Museum is the absence of chronological or any other logical principles for the placement of the collection.
