Fitzroy House

by Sarah Eicker
(London)

Set in the heart of Fitzrovia, famed for its writers and artists, Fitzroy House was built in 1791 shortly after development was undertaken of this area.

Formerly inhabited by Playwright George Bernard Shaw, Fitzroy House is also where writer and philosopher L.Ron Hubbard, founder of Scientology, worked in the 1950s. The library displays the hundreds of Mr Hubbard´s published works for which he was awarded ´Most Published Author´ by the Guiness Book of World Records.

The building is reminiscent of the 1950s, complete with Adler typewriters, Grundig tape recorders, and Western Union Telefax.

Tours by appointment 11am - 5pm daily. Admission free. Groups welcome. Refreshments served. Tel 0207 255 2422, Email info@fitzroyhouse.org, www.fitzroyhouse.org

The British Museum

by Melanie
(Liverpool)

I've visited the British Museum quite a few times and it never fails to impress - it takes ages to get around the whole museum but it's worth it. I loved seeing the Parthenon sculptures, Egyptian mummies and Rosetta Stone in the 'flesh'. Also loved their little shops - ended up buying loads of postcards, books and ornaments!
