Property to rent in Fitzrovia
Bohemian, literary and still quite arty, Fitzrovia is an informally designated area first named in the 1930s to reflect the gatherings of writers at the Fitzroy Tavern – then the area’s social hub. Fitzrovia, in postcode W1, in the London boroughs of Camden and Westminster is a rectangle bounded by Oxford Street, Great Portland Street, Euston Road and Gower Street, which was developed by small landowners, hence the predominance of small, irregular streets that give the area quite a villagey feel. It is an area renowned as being home to the rag trade, and is being hailed as the next Notting Hill. The rental market remains buoyant, with prestigious properties being let to celebrities and corporate individuals, while the student market continues to grow due to the close proximity of universities and colleges, including UCL, LSE, the American College, and RADA. People who are considering property to rent in Fitzrovia will discover the area offers a variety of properties, including substantial, stucco-fronted freehold houses surrounding Fitzroy Square and charming, period townhouses located in pedestrianised streets such as Colville and Middleton Place. There are also penthouse apartments, period houses that have been converted into flats and apartments, and apartments in Victorian purpose built mansion blocks. New developments include the site of the Middlesex Hospital in Mortimer Street, which is currently undergoing redevelopment, to include shops and businesses, as well as housing.
