Short read: Phwoar! Secret Soho.
Long read: Okay, it’s not as risque as it sounds. Though there’s certainly some very tasty historical naughtiness: Casanova cruised these parts, for example. And, yes, it is London’s, er, hoary old red light district. But what’s really to the point is that this colourful and cosmopolitan Never-Never Land is London’s hottest – and coolest – social melting pot. Life in Soho has all the phosphorescence of comets’ tails.
It’s a place of bewitching contrasts. Homely village and red-light district; workplace and playground; Chinatown and Theatreland; a paradise for gourmands and the haunt of artists, con-artists, artistes and artisans. Today it’s a by-word for style; in the 60s it was the cradle of British pop music; a century ago it was the worst slum in town; earlier still, the hub of aristocratic life. There’s no place like it. Anything else? Yes, this is a pub walk and food is available. Guided by Peter or Richard III
Secret Soho & Its Pubs takes place at TBA evening. Meet Peter or Richard III just outside exit 1 of Leicester Square Tube. N.B. the walk ends at Cambridge Circus, very near Leicester Square Tube, Tottenham Court RoadTube, and Piccadilly Circus Tube stations.

If you can’t make one of the regularly scheduled, just-turn-up, public Secret Soho walks do think about booking one as a private tour. If you go private you can have the Secret Soho & Its Pubs Walk – or any other London Walk – on a day and at a time that suits your convenience. We’ll tailor it to your requirements. And – always with private London Walks and tours – we go to great lengths to make sure the guide-walker(s) “fit” is well-nigh perfect. Ring Fiona or Niamh or Peter or Mary on 020 7624 3978 or email us at [email protected] and we’ll set it up and make it happen for you. A private London Walk – they’re good value for an individual or couple and sensational value for a group – makes an ideal group or educational or birthday party or office (team-building) or club outing.
A private London Walk makes a fab present – be it a birthday or anniversary or get-to-know-your-new neighbourhood gift or Christmas present or whatever. Merchandise schmerchandise (gift wrapped or not) – but giving someone an experience, now that’s special. Memories make us rich.
