Inspired by the area’s eclectic and creative scene, Artisan has been carefully crafted to enhance the original building character while creating a strong statement for the prominent location on the corner of Goodge Street and Tottenham Court Road. Although a challenging project, Artisan also represented a unique opportunity to create something truly special. We had the pleasure of working with a great team who shared our vision and after six years of hard work we are delighted to deliver a collection of beautifully crafted homes offering contemporary living in a highly desirable, bohemian neighbourhood in central London. We are very proud to present to you, Artisan! Richard Leslie, CEO Dukelease Properties Editor’s note Once a stomping ground for the literary beau-monde of 1920s London, Fitzrovia’s cultural capital has been flourishing ever since. Dylan Thomas, George Orwell and Virginia Woolf all put pen to paper from its famous squares, and the bohemian spirit remains in the stylish restaurants, galleries and shops scattered along these streets today. Sharing a postcode with Mayfair and Marylebone, and soon with high-speed Crossrail connections across the city, this is a quarter of London with a distinctly European feel. Luxury property developer Dukelease has tapped into its unique character with Artisan, a boutique suite of 13 apartments and penthouses that reinforce Fitzrovia’s position at the forefront of modern living. In the pages that follow, we take a tour through the past, explore the present and consider the future of one of the capital’s most distinctive neighbourhoods. We hope you’ll enjoy discovering more about London’s favourite postcode and the new development at its beating heart. Welcome to Fitzrovia; welcome to Artisan. Newman Arms Fitzrovia Louisa McGillicuddy, Artisan Editor 2 3 ARTISAN FITZROVIA IF THESE STREETS COULD TALK... IF THESE STREETS COULD TALK... Authors and poets have been drawn to Fitzrovia for centuries: wander through its streets today and it’s easy to see how the bohemian spirit captures the imagination. Bring the rich history of this neighbourhood to life with a walking tour through the addresses of its literary greats... In the early nineteenth century, a young Charles Dickens spent his childhood on this road, which was originally known as Norfolk Street. Virginia Woolf lived here in 1907 with her brother, Leonard. As founding members of the Bloomsbury Group, the pair often hosted literary salons at their home for leading writers and philosophers of the day. The Newman Arms on Rathbone Street was It’s been said that T.S. Eliot’s favourite the real-life model for the drinking den restaurant was L’Etoile, a French bistro that has been running on Charlotte Street since 1896. The Welsh poet Dylan Thomas moved to favoured by the “proletariat” characters of Fitzrovia in 1941, working at the BBC on George Orwell’s 1984. His contemporaries, the writers Ezra Pound and Wyndham Lewis, even launched a Portland Place.

  • A Walking Tour of Building Stones from Senate House to Tottenham Court Road
    A Walking Tour of Building Stones from Senate House to Tottenham Court Road London Illustrated News Dr Ruth Siddall UCL Earth Sciences Gower Street London WC1E 6BT r.siddall@ ucl.ac.uk Ruth Siddall, 1 UCL Earth Sciences 2012 A Walking Tour of Building Stones from Senate House to Tottenham Court Road Ruth Siddall This guide is an update of parts of Eric Robinson’s tour, originally published in 1985. Tottenham Court Road has transformed since then, but many of the stones still remain. The Walk Start Point: Senate House, University of London. 1. Senate House Senate House and Library where designed by Charles Holden and built during 1932-37. This is actually a paired-down version of Holden’s original plans which included buildings occupying the land now taken by Birkbeck College, ULU and the piazza behind these buildings, leading from Byng Place. Nevertheless Senate House is a striking building. The major building material is dressed Portland Stone which has retained a good white colour. The lower courses are of axe-dressed Cornish Granite, probably from Carnsew Quarry. The spacious foyer is both paved and clad with Tivoli Travertine. Leave Senate House via the main entrance onto Malet Street, cross over and continue straight ahead along Keppel Street, pausing at the entrance to the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine on the corner of Keppel Street and Gower Street. 2. London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Also built primarily of beautifully dressed Portland Stone, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine’s building is of interest architecturally.
