Fitzrovia
Bordering Soho immediately to the north of Oxford Street, Fitzrovia is an historic yet thoroughly modern neighbourhood, full of creativity and a fantastic community spirit with residents fiercely protective of it’s individuality – locals fought hard against the attempted ‘re-branding’ of the area to Noho in the early 2000’s. Make no mistake, this is no poor relation to Soho, if anything, Fitzrovia is the cool and sophisticated sibling…
Why Fitzrovia?
A huge mix of archicture from Georgian Squares and Victorian Mansion blocks to post-war brutalism and modern glass & steel edifices means there is a style to suit everybody. Transport links are some of the best in London with five tube stations serving the neighbourhood – Tottenham Court Road, Oxford Circus, Goodge Street, Warren Street & Great Portland Street.
City Streets, Village Vibes
Streets are mostly laid out in a grid formation, giving the area a distinct city block feel of say, New York. However, the area manages to maintain a genuine urban village vibe with a varied selection of design-focussed stores, countless artisan coffee spots, classic pubs and numerous top notch restaurants centred around both Charlotte Street & Great Titchfield Street.
