It's a huge city of course. It has been described as a collection of villages and there is truth in that. So many neighbourhoods have their own unique ambience and Fitzrovia is no exception!bazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794010156639774028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9065667386668307918.post-41382120374835406492017-08-08T09:15:59.810+01:002017-08-08T09:15:59.810+01:00Hels: The appearance of most of the property in th...Hels: The appearance of most of the property in the area is strictly controlled by either English Heritage listings (Grade I, Grade II etc) or local Conservation Area controls. That means that very little can change independently, at least in the external appearance, in this kind of property. I love the many mews cottages in central London but they are very sought after and even more out-of-reach than most alternatives!bazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794010156639774028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9065667386668307918.post-63419954937944713252017-08-08T06:55:54.915+01:002017-08-08T06:55:54.915+01:00Hello Bazza, Another place in London to add to my...Hello Bazza, Another place in London to add to my list for "next time."

When my first child moved abroad years ago, I wanted to spend 3 months a year in the northern hemisphere and 9 months a year in Melbourne. Affording a place in central London was NEVER going to be a financial possibility, but seeing a proper mews house before moving to the edge of the suburbs was irresistible.<br /><br />Assuming that the 18th century houses in Colville Place were renovated but not totally changed, the sash windows on the first and second floors are still very attractive. Ditto the lamps down the centre of the lane. The cultural associations you described would have been a bonus.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.com
