A walk around Fitzrovia
12th April 2019
Middleton's Ashley Wilsdon takes a walk around Fitzrovia – the central London district roughly bounded by Oxford Street, Great Portland Street, Euston Road and Gower Street, with Charlotte Street as its ‘spine’. Writers, artists and intellectuals such as Virginia Woolf, George Bernard Shaw, Dylan Thomas and George Orwell lived in the area or met at the Fitzroy Tavern in Charlotte Street, ensuring Fitzrovia rivalled nearby Bloomsbury as London’s bohemian quarter in the post-war era.
