Stop At: Soho, London England
Well, welcome to the most colourful and creative districts in the West End of London. Although Soho is originally a fashionable district for the aristocracy, it has been one of the main entertainment districts in the capital since the 19th century but the history of Soho goes back to the 16th century. The area was developed from farmland by our monarch, Henry VIII in 1536. The aristocracy had mostly moved away by the mid-19th century when Soho was particularly badly hit by an outbreak of cholera in 1854. For much of the 20th century, Soho had a reputation as a base for the sex industry in addition to its nightlife and its location for the headquarters of leading film companies. Since the 1980s, the area has undergone considerable gentrification. It is now predominantly a fashionable district of upmarket restaurants and media offices, with only a small remnant of sex industry venues. London’s gay community is centred on Old Compton Street in Soho. As a result of Greek and Italian immigration, many small and easily affordable restaurants and cafés, mainly were founded in Soho during the 19th century. In London’s redlight district, there are hundreds and hundreds of secret taste spots that you will admire. Just delve into the exciting London food scene as you let your stomach lead you to the best restaurants and secret taste spots in London.
