Fitzrovia
The area of
London known as
Fitzrovia is bounded on the east by the
Tottenham Court Road and on the south by
Oxford Street and is thus just north of
Soho. The region gaines it's name from the Fitzroy Tavern in Charlotte Street in which artists, writers and other
Bohemians used to frequent in the
1930s
The area was first developed in the 18th century by the hon. Charles Fitzroy - later Lord Southampton who purchesed the Manor of Totenhall and built Fitzroy Square to which he gave his name.
