Postcards from Fitzrovia
Park Crescent, Fitzrovia
Yesterday I traipsed round Fitzrovia in the rain for a writing project I’m working on. I used to live just north of the area on Hampstead Road but barely explored it as I was new to London and didn’t really get its cultural/social significance. Below are a few postcards that offer a small insight into the varied views of Fitzrovia, there’s plenty to admire and I even stumbled across a Banksy – you can tell which street art is by Banksy because, generally, the council put them behind glass.
