Between the wealth of Marylebone, the edgy energy of Soho and the grandeur of Bloomsbury, Fitzrovia is an area with a historically bohemian edge. Wide avenues lined with tall buildings in Victorian brick criss-crossing cobbled side streets. Over time, many waves of people from all over the world have forged a resolute sense of community in this central London neighbourhood. Frequently described as an urban village with a bohemian history, previously home to the wild and decadent - poets, writers and vagabonds, heavy drinkers and concubines. Nowadays its residents live among creative agencies, fashion HQs, television production companies, art galleries and a wide selection of shops, restaurants and bars.
One of London’s finest squares. Named after Charles Fitzroy, 4th Duke of Grafton, and designed by Robert Adam in the late 18th century. An architectural gem, Fitzroy Square has been home to many famous artists, writers and statesmen over the years. Blue plaques mark the houses once occupied by Prime Minister Lord Salisbury and writers George Bernard Shaw and Virginia Woolf.
