The Fitzrovia Business Hub is a led by a group of businesses based in Fitzrovia. The purpose is to network with other businesses in the local area. We are delighted that the Riding House Cafe has invited us once again to host our May event in their stunning bar & restaurant.

This month we are pleased to welcome the author Austin Mutti-Mewse. Mutti-Mewse's teenage years are probably more fantastical than the plot of any movie the stars of his book 'I Used to be in Pictures' featured in; He and twin brother Howard from quaint Surrey, embarked on an incredible journey by firstly writing fan letters to impossibly faded silent sirens they'd seen on the BBC Saturday movie matinee. Telephone calls made way for sojourns across California and pit stops, some lasting weeks with their pen pals. Whilst some of these encounters (James Stewart, Frank Sinatra, Bette Davis, Elizabeth Taylor), superseded expectations, with others (The last of Wizard of Oz Munckins, Charlie Chaplin's widow Lita Grey), the letters concealed what meeting them revealed - the gold had turned to grey.

Join us for an evening of interesting conversation, great drinks, and excellent networking with your neighbours.
