Course Description:

Talk: The haunt of artists, actors, poets and writers from the 18th century to the1950s, we examine this English Bohemia and the characters who peopled it over the last 200 years. From Mrs. Siddons to Hylda Baker, Fanny Burney to Dylan Thomas, John Linnell to Nina Hamnett. Walk: We shall gather together at the Fitzroy Tavern (the inspiration for the name 'Fitzrovia') in the evening before the walk in order to fully appreciate the Bohemian experience!
