Fitzroy House

Set in the heart of Fitzrovia, famed for its writers and artists, Fitzroy House was built in 1791 shortly after development was undertaken of this area. The original interior and current exterior imitate the designs of Robert Adam, celebrated Georgian-period architect. Formerly inhabited by playwright George Bernard Shaw, Fitzroy House is where writer and philosopher L. Ron Hubbard, founder of Scientology, worked in the 1950s. The library displays hundreds of Mr Hubbard's published works for which he was awarded 'Most Published Author' by the Guinness Book of World Records. The building is reminiscent of the 1950s, complete with Adler typewriters, Grundig tape recorders and Western Union telefax.
