The Fitzrovia B.T. Tower (formerly the Post Office Tower) was built to cater for the United Kingdom's mounting telecommunications needs, but its foremost fascination to the public was as the tallest building in London with its rotating restaurant turning full circle every 22 minutes.
The area of London known as Fitzrovia is located on the border between the boroughs of Westminster and Camden, and is bounded on the east by Tottenham Court Road, on the south by Oxford Street, on the west by Portland Place and on north by Euston Road.
Fitzrovia is being hailed as ‘the new Notting Hill’, but it has the extra advantage of being in walking distance of the West End and all of Central London’s sights.

  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Fitzrovia
Fitzrovia's name is obscure compared to those of most central London areas, including its neighbours such as Soho to the south and Bloomsbury to the east.
Much of Fitzrovia was developed by small landowners, and this led to a predominance of small and irregular streets, in comparison with neighbouring districts like Marylebone and Bloomsbury, which were dominated by one or two landowners, and were thus developed more schematically, with stronger grid patterns and a greater number of squares.
Fitzrovia was a notable artistic and bohemian centre from a period dating roughly from the mid 1920s until the mid to late 1950s.

 Aidan's London Pub Crawls - Fitzrovia
Fitzrovia takes it's name from the nearby Fitzroy Square and has long been known as a haunt of artists and writers, or, as they are frequently referred to, Bohemians.
Fitzrovia has lost it's Bohemian air, now being full of 'mee-jar'-types, but, as we shall see, it still has some fine pubs (and a lot of them) with a wide range of the best of British beers (as well as 'Hooch', 'K' and 'Diamond White').
The term 'Fitzrovia' was first coined in this tavern, by a group of the aforementioned Bohemians, who frequently congregated here in the 1930s and 40s.

 AUTIF and Fitzrovia to review TERs - AUTIF Press Release 1999
In Fitzrovia’s press release entitled "What does the OEIC mean to the man in the street" it was suggested that investors would be better investing in a unit trust than one of the more recently launched Open Ended Investment Companies (OEIC) because of differences in Total Expense Ratios (TERs).
As a result of this review, Fitzrovia has agreed that, although the calculations on fund TERs are correct, the conclusions drawn were extremely misleading.
Both Fitzrovia and AUTIF believe that confusion about the effect of TERs is not in the interests of investors or management groups.

 JULIAN MACLAREN-ROSS: THE KING OF FITZROVIA
Ross became a fixture at the Wheatsheaf pub in Rathbone Place, Fitzrovia, holding court night after night to a host of mesmerized listeners as he acted out scenes from his favourite films, talked of future writing projects and inveighed against the crimes and shortcomings of publishers.
With his teddy-bear overcoat, dark mirror glasses, carnation and gold- or silver-topped cane this Ancient Mariner of the Forties was a "dangerous dandy" as the New Zealand writer Dan Davin called him.
Murders of people who knew too much were committed by a band of trained commando midgets, and the conspiracy's total aim was world domination, narrowly averted." Alas, the book never materialized, and the world of fantasy thrillers is clearly the poorer for it.
