Fitzroy Square
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fitzroy Square is one of the Georgian squares in London and is the only one found in the central London area known as in Fitzrovia.
It was partly designed by Robert Adam and has seen both Virginia Woolf, George Bernard Shaw and more recently Ian McEwan as residents. It was also the setting of much of McEwan's 2005 novel Saturday.
Fitzroy Square is home to the embassies of Liberia and Mozambique. The embassy of Croatia is located on Conway Street, just off the square. The offices and library of the Georgian Group are also located here.
Numbers 1, 1A, 2-8 and 33-40 (the London Foot Hospital) are grade I listed buildings.
