Fitzrovia Estate Agents: Fitzhip: What Makes Fitzrovia Tick?
The rising star of the West End, Fitzrovia has stolen Soho's
'hip' crown and is now one of LDG's most magnetic and popular
residential locations. And with its famous landmark, the BT
Tower, souring 580 feet above the streets, you will never have
trouble finding your way home.
Since this sky-high structure was erected in the Sixties communications
and media have been Fitzrovia's livelihood.
The streets below buzz with television production squads, editing
folk, new media types and ladies who lunch. Punters spill out
onto Fitzrovia's pavements where Italian side-walk cafés
lend a distinctly continental air to summer evenings.
While after-hours, Fitzrovia resumes the distinctly bohemian
aura of yesteryears when writers such as Dylan Thomas and George
Orwell frequented the Fitzroy Tavern.
First developed in the 18th century by Charles Fitzroy following
the Great Fire of London, Fitzrovia was later given its name
after Fitzroy purchased the Manor of Tottenhall and built Fitzroy
Square.
Today BT Tower and The Charlotte Street, Langham Street and
Sanderson Hotels are only the supporting branches for a future
of guaranteed change in which we will see residential property
increasing.
The real gems of this effervescent hub are the little guys:
independent, often family-run institutions tucked away in Fitzrovia's
back streets and various mews.
The Ships Galley on Hanson Street is a cheap and cheerful sandwich
café, while on Great Titchfield Street Harris's Italian
delicatessen serves up the best ciabattas in town.
Newman Passage is an innocuous little pedestrian thoroughfare
which links Newman Street to Rathbone Street.
While Charlotte Street runs perpendicular to Goodge Street
and is the main focal point for wining and dining, although
gastronomic rivalry is close at hand in nearby Market Place
and Great Portland Street.
Only a few minutes walk away is the bustling artery of Oxford
Street, making Fitzrovia the perfect West End spot to invest
and reap the rewards.
