Walk London’s rich history with Richard Cohen

Fitzrovia

Academics, Medics and Bohemians

We will see universities and hospitals and one of the most beautiful squares in London. We will visit the first Family Planning Clinic in London. We will discover the site of the wild and riotous Gooseberry Fair of Tottenham Court Road. We will hear about the artists, writers and lowlifes who inhabited the Fitzroy Tavern and made the area London’s Bohemia. We will see the Telecom Tower from a new angle. We will visit London’s oldest Workhouse Building and inspect the site of a notorious gay scandal in Victorian London. We will see the homes of some of our greatest writers.
