From the end of the c19 until the outbreak of WW2 what we now think of as Fitzrovia was known as the heart of Bohemia. Not the Bohemia that was the birthplace of Little Red Riding Hood, but a mythical land of freedom and high living, of good art and lost nights.
This walk will expire some of the key places of that lost enclave, along the way meeting some of the surprising characters that resided there. Before finishing at a pub that that has seen all of them and more through its doors.
