Fitzrovia

Last weekend- the first in weeks with sunny weather- I took a tour of Fitzrovia. Fitzrovia is beside Bloomsbury- where Russell Square is- and like Bloomsbury is known for being where the literary and art set always lived. Quite attractive, in several parts you actually couldn't tell you were in the middle of London.

House where both George Bernard Shaw and Virginia Woolf lived- though at different times
