Fitzrovia
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…
The home of design, tech & creativity
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.

Why Fitzrovia?
A huge mix of architecture from Georgian Squares and Victorian Mansion blocks to post-war brutalism and modern glass & steel edifices means there is a style to suit everybody. Transport links are some of the best in London with five tube stations serving the neighbourhood – Tottenham Court Road, Oxford Circus, Goodge Street, Warren Street & Great Portland Street.
City Streets, Village Vibes
Streets are mostly laid out in a grid formation, giving the area a distinct city block feel of say, New York. However, the area manages to maintain a genuine urban village vibe with a varied selection of design-focussed stores, countless artisan coffee spots, classic pubs and numerous top-notch restaurants centred around both Charlotte Street & Great Titchfield Street.
Fit for a King
Head up any of the north-bound arterial streets and you’ll end up in The Regent’s Park, one of London’s finest.
Cafe Culture
Brunch or just some casual people watching? No problem. Fitzrovia has a cafe culture to rival Europe’s best.

Soho
Soho is surely the epitome of London life, the beating heart of the West End, a vibrant enclave where history, creativity and a sense of rebellion collide to create a truly original and unrivalled neighbourhood. Globally recognised for its bohemian spirit, Soho has been a haunt for artists, writers, poets and musicians for centuries. Modern Soho is a paradise for creatives, culture vultures, foodies and night owls.
Carnaby
An enclave of only 14 streets in the north west corner of Soho, yet Carnaby is very much a neighbourhood in its own right. Carnaby Street is world renowned as the epicentre of Swinging London in the 1960’s, and has continued its association with fashion and youth culture to this day.

Covent Garden
One of London’s most iconic and recognisable destinations, perhaps from the outsider’s perspective nothing more than a hub for tourists, shoppers, theatre goers or opera aficionados, but scratch the surface and there is so much more to discover about this thriving community…
St. Martin’s & Strand
St. Martin’s Lane is Covent Garden’s western border, a bustling thoroughfare linking Seven Dials with Trafalgar Square and a gateway to the wider West End. Strand is the southern boundary of Covent Garden running parallel to the River Thames and linking the cities of London & Westminster. A neighbourhood that offers everything from river views and world class theatres, to green open space and village vibes.
Bloomsbury
Bloomsbury is a little slice of bohemian paradise in the heart of London, historic streets lined with handsome Georgian townhouses, leafy garden squares and a vibe that oozes culture & creativity.
