Attraction in West End
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.
Fitzroy House is also where writer and philosopher L. Ron Hubbard, founder
of Scientology, worked in the 1950s. The library displays the hundreds of
Mr. Hubbard's published works for which he was awarded "Most Published
Author" by the Guinness Book of World Records. The offices are reminiscent
of the 1950s, complete with Adler typewriters, Grundig tape recorders, and
Western Union telefax.
Location: Just off Fitzroy Square near Warren Street tube station.
