Well done piece. Thanks for noting Soho's place in the sun. I lived in London in the mid 1960s and remember fondly Charlie Chester's casino, where I spent many a late night/early morning. Also fondly recall the oddball strip clubs whose myriad fronts all led down the back alley to the same unspectacular "theatre" where a not-so-lovely lady would stand on stage, backed up by canned music scratching out of a really bad sound system, and ever-so-slowly remove a number of garments before shuttling off. Anyway, thanks again. I've always had a soft spot for Soho.
