The Writers' TownhouseNuevo

Step in a space once frequented by literary legends George Orwell and Dylan Thomas, where the whispers of history meet the comfort of today. This is a rare opportunity to stay in a historic Fitzrovia building with three centuries of stories woven into its walls.

Its a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to stay in a true piece of London’s history, a home with a soul, and a story like no other, right in the heart of central London. Once a blacksmith’s shop, an ironmonger’s, and later a public house, this remarkable building is a surviving thread in the rich fabric of Fitzrovia’s past. Picture yourself sipping your morning coffee in a loft that inspired the “Proles” pub in Orwell’s 1984, surrounded by echoes of the city’s literary and cultural history. With a newly renovated interior that blends timeless character with modern luxury, it’s a space where the past feels vividly present.

The secret alley entrance: Enter through your own private doorway off a charming London alleyway, tucked away like a secret passage. A few steps up lead you into a cozy, private space that’s all your own.

The peaceful bedroom chamber: Tucked away on the first floor are two spacious and comfortable double bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and shower. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to retire early or simply enjoy a little extra peace and privacy while others are still upstairs.

The striking living space: Head up another set of stairs to the top floor, where you’ll step into a bright, open-plan living space. Skylights fill the room with natural light, and you’ll have a fully equipped kitchen, a cozy dining area, and a comfortable lounge with some charming original features like the cast iron chimney. It’s a relaxed and welcoming space where you can cook, dine, and unwind.

A rare central London terrace: As a delightful surprise, there’s also a rooftop terrace waiting for you. Just take the unique staircase up and enjoy a private outdoor space, a true rarity in the heart of the city, where you can relax and take in the fresh air.

The vibrant surroundings: And when you’re ready to explore, you couldn’t be better placed: Soho, Covent Garden, and Oxford Street are just a short stroll away, with world-class restaurants, theatres, and bars right on your doorstep. You’ll have your own private entrance, and it’s all self-check-in with a lockbox, so you can arrive any time after check-in time at your convenience. Please note that there are a few steps up to the apartment, so it may not be suitable for those with mobility challenges.
