The scene of the notorious murder that inspired The Blue Lamp will today be visited on a guided walk led by writers Paul Willetts and Cathi Unsworth, and artist Garry Hunter.

From 2pm until 4pm Paul Willetts author of North Soho 999, accompanied by Cathi Unsworth and Garry Hunter, will lead a guided walk through Fitzrovia’s fetid streets starting at the Marquis of Granby and ending at Wheatsheaf, Rathbone Place.
