Highlights
- Soho - From world-famous Piccadilly Circus to Chinatown, you’ll traverse the intricate network of Soho’s streets, cherished by both sightseers and residents. Aficionados of music will delight in the sites of Jimi Hendrix’s London debut, the origins of Beatlemania, and the recording studio for the iconic “Bohemian Rhapsody.” Explore the historic squares and pathways that have been the backdrop for significant cultural milestones. Delve into the history of the women’s suffrage movement at Golden Square and uncover the birthplace of epidemiology on Broad Street. Reflect on Karl Marx’s contributions on Greek Street and engage in the narrative of the LGBT community’s adoption of Soho as their enclave. Conclude your exploration with a serving of dumplings in Chinatown. By the conclusion of this journey, you’ll have a deeper appreciation for London’s vibrant and multifaceted identity, extending well beyond its wartime and regal narratives.
