The Bloomsbury Group influenced the urban life of Fitzrovia during the first half of the twentieth century. Writers, Artists, Poets, painters, actors, economists and even prostitutes coloured the streets of this location. The legends and stories have lived on today, all well documented in a collection of books sitting at Samuel French’s bookshop. One of a kind they are specialists in theatre. Well stocked plays, musicals, biographies and career profiles are on sale. A collection of short plays for younger children are available to purchase or browse through. And a corner at the end of the shop always has a discounted section at half price. This shop is truly a regeneration of drama and publishing with a collection of over 1600 Acting editions in print.
