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.

An independent bar, music venue, small club and events space. A dying breed basically. The Social was set up with a simple manifesto – to provide great music and better booze to anyone who fancied tripping through the doors. 16 years later and still run by the original team who created it – Heavenly Recordings & The Breakfast Group – the bar is an award winning London institution. The Social pride themselves on innovative and interesting music programming working with people like Radio One’s Huw Stephens for the last ten years, their weekly Heavenly Social Friday night party and of course Thursdays are Hip Hop Karaoke. They also have other less conventional events like the Faber Social and Caught By The River literary events, and one-offs with promoters like In The Dark or the School of Noise.
