Living In Fitzrovia, London

What Makes It Unique?

Fitzrovia has become one of the most up and coming parts of London.

Within the 5-10 years, it will undoubtedly become part of ‘Prime London’ and may well challenge Marylebone in terms of sold prices and price/ sq ft.

All you have to do is look at what happened to Marylebone, which is next door to Fitzrovia to see why this could well happen.

Marylebone’s high street was incredibly run down and consisted of little more than a range of charity shops back n 2004.

However, Marylebone High Street is now one of London’s most beautiful and popular high streets thanks to the renovations and regeneration that took place…

Prices shot up as did the popularity of Marylebone.
