Fitzrovia itself has for many years been renowned for its writers and artists. From H.G. Wells and George Orwell, to Charles Dickens and Virginia Woolf -its inhabitants have left an indelible mark. Although it is well known that the Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw resided in Fitzroy Square, it is a lesser-known fact that he also lived with his mother on the 1st floor of 37 Fitzroy Street from 1881-1882.
75 years later, writer and philosopher L. Ron Hubbard made 37 Fitzroy Street his London base. Mr. Hubbard wrote many of his best-known works whilst in London. With 19 New York Times Bestsellers and 3 literary Guinness World Record Titles including 'Most Published Author,' he is one of the most prolific writers of his time. Steeped in nostalgic memorabilia, Fitzroy House will take you on a trip down memory lane, with its faithfully restored communications office equipment including Adler typewriters.
