About

Fitzrovia East and Bloomsbury West form a compact district north of Oxford Street and south of Euston Road, centered on Tottenham Court Road, Gower Street and the grid of streets that link them. The area mixes Georgian terraces, post‑war blocks and late‑Victorian townhouses, with short streets such as Mortimer, Charlotte and Great Russell shaping pedestrian routes. Local anchors include the university complex around Senate House and the cluster of small publishers and studios that line Charlotte Street and Rathbone Place; medical institutions and research libraries sit closer to Gower Street.

Squares and garden plots set the area apart: Bedford Square retains its private garden surrounded by classical terraces and original 18th‑century railings, while quiet courtyards and mews sit behind main streets. Street-level life ranges from independent bookshops and research institutes to lunchtime cafés and pharmaceuticals suppliers, plus transport links on Tottenham Court Road that concentrate retail and trade. The result is an urban fabric where academic, medical and light commercial uses coexist on a tight street pattern.
