"In the 1840s, the painfully shy Duke of Portland erected eighty feet high screens of frosted glass around Harcourt House so people could not see what he was up to. He was so shy that he would had a complicated system of bells installed in his house, so he could warn any occupants of rooms he was moving into of his arrival, and they would be compelled to vacate!"

What locals say about Fitzrovia
“There's such a buzzy atmosphere in Fitzrovia, while still being a bit more laid back than Soho! ”
George
“Quiet with easy access to Oxford Street, Regent's Park and Marylebone High Street”
Mubarak
“The busy hustle and bustle is what makes living just off Oxford Street so exciting. Within minutes of leaving my flat I'm able to pop to the shops to buy myself some new gear, I can go and see one of the stunning musicals of the West End, or I could enjoy one of the many sophisticated cocktail bars in Soho. It's not always so busy - on a Sunday morning before the shops open I love nothing more than to jog along Oxford Street to Hyde Park and then around St James's Park past Buckingham Palace. This place really does offer it all!”

About Fitzrovia
Fitzrovia is a neighbourhood in central London, near London's West End lying partly in the London Borough of Camden (in the east) and partly in the City of Westminster (in the west); and situated between Marylebone and Bloomsbury and north of Soho. It is characterised by its mixed-use of residential, retail, business with not one aspect or trade dominating the area. The historically bohemian area was once home to such writers as Virginia Woolf, George Bernard Shaw and Arthur Rimbaud, more lately known as a media and advertising hub. Fitzrovia streets are characterised by a mix of private and social housing, and also a wide variety of other property uses. This mix really defines the area.
