29 Fitzroy Square, London

This was the home of Virginia Woolf and George Bernard Shaw, but not at the same time!

Shaw lived here from 1897-1898 and Woolf from 1907-1911.

Shaw is the only person to have been awarded both a Nobel Prize for Literature (1925) and an Oscar (1938) - the latter for work on the film Pygmalion which became the musical My Fair Lady.

Shaw was a huge fan of photography and bought his first camera while living in this house.

Adeline Virginia Woolf was a central figure in the group of British writers called the Bloomsbury Group. She was prolific between the wars and wrote the novels Mrs Dalloway (1925), To The Lighthouse (1927) and Orlando (1928). She also wrote the book-long essay A Room of One's Own (1929).

The Bloomsbury Group included Vita Sackville-West, E.M. Forster and Lytton Strachey.
