After Vanessa's marriage, Virginia and her brother Adrian took No. 29 on the Adam-designed square from 1907 to 1911 - Bernard Shaw had lived in the same house twenty years before, and the plaque records both - and the Thursday evenings moved here with them. At No. 33, from 1913 to 1919, Fry ran the Omega Workshops, where Vanessa Bell, Duncan Grant and Wyndham Lewis, briefly, painted screens, tables, rugs and dresses for sale with no artist's name on anything; Winifred Gill kept it running, and the Courtauld's 2026 show is hers. The square is Fitzrovia's best piece of Georgian planning, and quiet.
The garden is private; the plaques at 29 and 33 are on the street.
