About Fitzrovia
Why is it called Fitzrovia?
Fitzrovia in central London, England. Near the West End of London, the eastern area is in the London Borough of Camden, and the west, the City of Westminster.
It is characterised by its mixed-use of residential, business, retail, education and healthcare, with no single activity dominating. The once bohemian area was home to writers as such as Virginia Woolf, George Bernard Shaw and Arthur Rimbaud. In 2016, The Sunday Times named it the best place to live in London.
Did you know? Its name was coined in the late 1930s by Tom Driberg. Named after the Fitzroy Tavern on Charlotte Street where a group of writers used to gather.
