Fitzroy House
London
Open Daily by Appointment.
Fitzroy House is an original 1791 building imitating the designs of Robert Adam, the famous Georgian period architect. The locality dates back to the 18th century and has been for many years well known for its writers and artists.
Home to playwright George Bernard Shaw in 1881, 37 Fitzroy Street became the 1950s London base for writer and philosopher L. Ron Hubbard. With 19 New York Times bestsellers and a Guinness World Record for his literary output, Ron Hubbard became one of the most proli c writers of his time.
Set in the heart of Fitzrovia, Fitzroy House is a fine example of 18th century London architecture dating back to when this area was first built. The building now houses a museum illustrating the life and work of L. Ron Hubbard. It comprises four floors, one of which is dedicated to an exhibition of his early life from Boy Scout to explorer, from a top fiction writer of the 1930s and 40s to his later achievements as a humanitarian. Visitors are invited to step into this 1950s time capsule where they can view original manuscripts, rare 1st edition books and artefacts relating to the life of one of the most prominent authors of the 20th century.
