Fitzrovia

Between the wealth of Marylebone, the edgy energy of Soho and the grandeur of Bloomsbury, Fitzrovia is an area with a historically bohemian edge. Wide avenues lined with tall buildings in Victorian brick criss-crossing cobbled side streets. Over time, many waves of people from all over the world have forged a resolute sense of community in this central London neighbourhood. Frequently described as an urban village with a bohemian history, previously home to the wild and decadent - poets, writers and vagabonds, heavy drinkers and concubines. Nowadays its residents live among creative agencies, fashion HQs, television production companies, art galleries and a wide selection of shops, restaurants and bars.

By the mid 20’s this grew to include purpose-built race suits for prominent TT racers of the day. 1950’s post-war Britain saw popularity increase with the rise of the teenage motorcyclist, a new breed whose style went hand in hand with their lifestyle. In the 60’s Lewis Leathers saw unprecedented growth as the products became immensely popular with the English Rockers. Then again, with the explosion of punk in ‘76, Lewis Leathers were worn by musicians like Joe Strummer, Paul Simonon, Steve Jones and Joey Ramone. Today Lewis Leathers attracts motorcyclists and rock & rollers from all over the world who appreciate the quality and style achieved in over 100 years.
