1. Fitzroy Place Marker
Welcome to Fitzroy Place.
Situated on the site of the former Middlesex Hospital, Fitzroy Place is centred around the first new garden square in W1 for over a century.
Fitzroy Place was designed by architects Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands and Sheppard Robson drawing inspiration from Fitzrovia's Edwardian identity.
Founded in 1745, the Middlesex Hospital was moved to Mortimer Street in 1757 and remained here until 2005. The Grade II* listed Fitzrovia Chapel, once the chapel of the former hospital, has been exquisitely restored. A stunning hidden gem in the heart of the city, it is open for reflection, cultural events and hires, secular weddings and wonder. Grayson Perry called it: 'This jewel-box of a building'.
