George Bernard Shaw’s Writing Hut is a great Shed.

I have always been fascinated with writing huts, studios and sheds and this one of George Bernard Shaw’s foots the bill.  Not only is it a great place to get away and work quietly on your creative pursuits but it also rotated allowing it to be easily turned to follow the  sun. This allows you to write uninterrupted all day bathed in sunlight or in George’s case since being in Britain … to stay warm in all seasons.

Shaw called his hut “London” so his staff wouldn’t be lying when they said he had “gone to London.”

There was a window that could easily be opened to allow for ventilation and a wonderful desk uncluttered for concentrated effort. But Shaw had a phone installed to be called in time for lunch.. you have to love the British!

Enjoy!
