Fizzing Around Fitzrovia

Monday 2 October 2017
(11am - 1pm)
Lecturer: Andrew Davies

Once called London’s Latin Quarter, Fitzrovia has become a capital ‘hotspot’, boasting both a fine square designed by Robert Adam and the workhouse which inspired Dickens’s Oliver Twist. Plus an old Welsh dairy, the pubs frequented by Dylan Thomas and Augustus John, the chapel (now a restaurant) which is all that remains of the old Middlesex Hospital, the delicious Pollock’s Toy Museum and shop, Heal’s, John Constable, Virginia Woolf …. Fitzrovia has it all!

Instructions

Meet outside Warren Street Underground Station at 10.50am
