(exit 1, by Wyndham's Theatre)

Noisy, bawdy, dirty and sexy, and one of the few quarters in London that has kept its character, warts and all'.


Graceful old square. Courtyards. Everything humming with life .


Flower boxes being watered, Chinatown bestirring itself, the colour and clamour of Berwick Street market (if it weren't for
the Cockney accents you'd think you were in a Moroccan souk). What a tonic!


The brush that painted London sober, sombre and genteel sure as hell missed Soho.
