Foreigners flocked to Soho as it was being built up: French, Italians, Germans, Dutch, Chinese and many others brought their crafts, culture, style and sometimes scandal to Soho’s streets. Richard’s walk celebrates 350 years of Soho immigration and diversity. We hear about great success stories, personal stories behind big historic events and meet larger than life characters including one reckless “king”!
The walk takes in Soho Square, an atmospheric graveyard, an unexpectedly lovely period street and some of Soho’s iconic eating and drinking venues including a number of its pubs.
