Muriel as usual is so good that she makes us forget the cold weather! A very interesting area, with a great diversity of architecture. Amazing to find such lovely corners in the centre of London and yet one gets the impression to be far away from London. »

Geneviève S., Secret Fitzrovia, 19th January 2022.

History, Architecture, Litterature and Art were present around every corner. Fitzroy Square with its features designed by Robert Adams was a wonderful discovery.

Thank you LearnArtory for this treat! »

The videos with wonderful sounds of birds, the wind etc…prepared by the Guide were a brilliant addition to the talk and made you feel as if you were in the garden itself. The maps of the gardens showing their layouts were also very helpful and made you understand the careful thinking of these famous English landscapers. Thank you again to all at LearnArtory! »

« I have greatly enjoyed the on-line lectures organised by LearnArtory. The guide was very enthusiastic as well as incredibly knowledgeable. The visual support used was excellent.
