Fitzroy Square

A Georgian square in Fitzrovia, paved rather than grassed, and lit like a stage set after dark.

Squares & yards

Fitzroy Square at dusk, the lamps just on.

Also in Literary London.

Adam brothers on the south and east sides, in Portland stone rather than the usual stucco, and a garden in the middle that was paved over and pedestrianised in the 1970s — so the square is quieter than any of its neighbours and the traffic goes round. Virginia Woolf lived at number 29 and George Bernard Shaw before her; Whistler and Roger Fry both worked here.
