This fine house is situated at the heart of one of London’s most famous literary and artistic hotbeds, Fitzrovia. The square itself was built in 1794 by Robert Adam and remains an oasis of tranquillity just a stones throw from Oxford Street and Tottenham Court Road. This house is particularly special because it has housed two of the most famous names in world literature, but not at the same time. Virginia Woolf and her husband Leonard lived in the house shortly after George Bernard Shaw who went on to establish a literary workshop a few doors away.
