The story of Soho illustrated in a series of historical maps between the 1600s and the modern day. We take a walk from Tottenham Court Road to Leicester Square station via Soho Square, Wardour Street, Old Compton Street, Cambridge Circus, Charing Cross Road and St Martin's Lane.
There's a lot of history on the way including a notable stop at Trident Studios where so many number one singles were recorded. This is number 67 of the London Underground walks I'm doing.
There's the usual surfeit of historic maps and some camera wobbliness in very small sections of the walk as I'd got the stability settings wrong on my new DJI Action camera.

Walked in early October 2023 on a warm evening - 24 degrees Celsius that day hence all the reduced clothing on people we pass.
