History of Fitzrovia News
Fitzrovia News was originally published as The Tower in 1973 by a small group of activists as a free community newspaper. In 1980 the Fitzrovia News was born, supported by the Fitzrovia Neighbourhood Association, and has been published more or less four times a year ever since. In 2009 a selection of news stories are published online in this WordPress.com news blog. Since June 2010 Fitzrovia News has been included in Google News. There is an article on Fitzrovia News at Wikipedia.
We have an archive of all The Tower and Fitzrovia News.
Final Thoughts…
“So next time you are in the area think beyond the obvious attractions which makes Fitzrovia a trendy place to be and spend a moment or two reflecting on Fitzrovia as a community where some people now in their nineties have lived all their lives and are perhaps richer in spirit for it.” — Olive Leonard on leaving Fitzrovia
