Formerly a department store, it famously housed the BBC’s overseas broadcasting services during WWII, where George Orwell worked before being converted into a luxury loft residence in 2006. 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 its 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… Known as Fitzrovia since the 1930’s – a term supposedly coined by the denizens of literary London after their favoured local watering hole, the Fitzroy Tavern – the area has experienced a renaissance in recent years with some high profile development and even higher profile occupiers including Meta & Netflix making the area home. From the early 20th century literary elite to today’s 21st century tech pioneers, the area has always attracted those at the cutting edge of culture and creativity. Underground services can be reached via nearby Oxford Circus (Victoria, Bakerloo and Central Lines), while several bus routes operate on Oxford and Regent Streets. The apartment is available immediately on an unfurnished basis. Subject to contract and satisfactory references. Westminster City Council tax band: H.
