Hotels near Fitzroy Square Garden

Fitzroy Square is one of London's finest squares and the only London square designed by Robert Adam. It is named after Charles Fitzroy, 4th Duke of Grafton and, in turn, gives its name to the surrounding area known as Fitzrovia. The circular garden in the centre is surrounded by historic buildings including the London Foot Hospital as well as the houses designed by Adam in the late 18th century - No. 33 was Adam's last building project and, as the home of Roger Fry's Omega Workshops, has close links with the Bloomsbury Group. The concentration of blue plaques adorning the houses on the square identify its famous past residents including Victorian Prime Minister Lord Salisbury and writers George Bernard Shaw and Virginia Woolf, who both lived at No. 29 at different times.
