PubsGo inside
Under the landlord Charlie Allchild the Fitzroy became the centre of bohemian London in the 1930s and 40s: Dylan Thomas, Augustus John, Nina Hamnett and Aleister Crowley drank here, George Orwell used it, and the district took its name from the pub. The Writers and Artists Bar downstairs is lined with photographs of the regulars, and the Victorian interior of mahogany and etched glass was put back by the brewery in 2016, with no music and no television.
