Synopsis
Fitzrovia, centre of London's pub-culture for much of the first half of the twentieth century, was christened by Tom Driberg and owes its name to the Fitzroy Tavern situated at the heart of the area.
In Fitzrovia: London's Bohemia, Michael Bakewell presents a fascinating picture of the men and women who created Fitzrovia. Packed with anecdote and fact, it describes Betty May's bizarre pub entertainment, Aleister Crowley's sinister interest in the occult and George Orwell's belief that pubs were 'the basic institutions of English life.' Fitzrovia: London's Bohemia conjures up the spirit of the characters who frequented the pubs of Fitzrovia and in doing so, recaptures a lost age of hedonism, high spirits and self-indulgent self-destruction.
