Illustrated front and back covers. Signed by the author with sentiment, which reads Best Wishes Sally Fiber. Foreword by Lord Killanin. The…Fitzroy Tavern is a public house situated at Charlotte Street in the Fitzrovia district of central London, England, owned by Samuel Smith Old Brewery. It became famous during a period spanning the 1920s to the mid-1950s as a meeting place for many of London's artists, intellectuals and bohemians such as Jacob Epstein, Nina Hamnett, Dylan Thomas, Augustus John, and George Orwell. It is named either directly or indirectly after the Fitzroy family, Dukes of Grafton, who owned much of the land on which Fitzrovia was built. The building was originally constructed as the Fitzroy Coffee House, in 1883, and converted to a pub (called "The Hundred Marks") in 1887, by W. M. Brutton. In the early years of the 20th century, Judah Morris Kleinfeld became licensee. He rebranded it the "Fitzroy Tavern" in March 1919. The license then passed to his daughter and her husband Charles Allchild who ran it into the 1950s. His granddaughter Sally Fiber who worked behind the bar from a very young age eventually wrote a history of the pub, "The Fitzroy: The Autobiography of a London Tavern" with the help of Clive Powell-Williams. There are photographs on the walls of both Michael Bentine and Dylan Thomas drinking in the pub. By the 1990s, the Fitzroy came to be closely associated with the fandom of Doctor Who and held regular fan meetings. Fitzrovia was the name given to Bohemian London in the early part of the 20th century as a result of writers, artists and politicians frequenting The Fitzroy Tavern. Born and brought up in The Fitzroy during its heyday, Sally Fiber draws on her own memories as well as family archives, to recall the special place, time and state of mind that was Fitzrovia. As the child and grandchild of the Tavern's licensees, she provides a unique record of the years when, for example, Augustus John drew a self-portrait in her mother's autograph book, and when Wynford Vaughan-Thomas held a memorial service in the bar for Dylan Thomas. But whilst the sense of the rich and the famous shines through, so too does a more shadowy world. For the Tavern was also the haunt of detectives Bob Fabian and Jack Capstick, the Public Executioner Albert Pierrepoint and politicians Hugh Gaitskell and Tom Driberg. Murder, intrigue and even a police raid on The Fitzroy - which culminated in a fierce courtroom battle - reveal the other side of this London pub. Full of incident and anecdote, The Fitzroy by Sally Fiber ensures that the days of laughter, triumph and tragedy come to life once more. Dennis Tuhrm (Cover illustration) (illustrator).
