Hi everybody!
I �ve just read this sentence which has puzzled me: "The office is in Hanover Square, at Hanover Square to be exact". Can anyone tell me what the difference is? Thanks in advance. |

Hanover Square is a street,(see bottom of map) but there was an original building called Hanover Square.
So it is in Hanover Square (street) at Hanover Square (particular building)
( same format as: in Oxford Street, at number 25)

We use in with streets and squares in British English, but on in American English. But if there ia a number of the housse (that is it is an adress) the preposition is at.
E.g. In Hanover Str. In Oxford Circus But at 25 Hanover Str. at 2 Oxford Circus |
