Soho

Yesterday, I did a bit of exploring around SOHO. Soho was grazing farmland until 1536. Many believe that the name Soho comes from the old ‘soho!’ hunting call. The music scene in Soho can be traced back to 1948 and Club Eleven which is generally revered as the fountainhead of modern jazz in the UK. In the early 1950s, Soho became the center of the Beatnik culture in London. Coffee Bars like Le Macabre (Wardour Street) which had coffin shaped tables, fostered beat poetry, jive dance and political debate. Soho is a small, multicultural area of central London; a home to industry, commerce, culture and entertainment, as well as a residential area for both rich and poor. Here are my favorite snapshots from soho:


And of course, the space invaders find for the day.
