The Other Side of Soho - Carnaby Street, Broadwick Street, Golden Sq (4K)

This London walking tour of Soho picks up the trail that I started in my previous Soho video in Berwick Street. We walk down Broadwick Street where Dr John Snow made his breakthrough discovery linking infected water to cholera infections. We also visit the site of the birthplace of William Blake before continuing our stroll along Carnaby Street. In Kingly Street we admire the pubs and then turn into Beak Street where the Italian painter Canaletto lived for a period of time. Our walking tour takes us then into Golden Square, first laid out in the 1670's with 'such houses as might accommodate Gentry', and we admire the fine architecture. We stop by the Piccadilly Theatre and then follow Brewer Street into Great Windmill Street with its famous Theatre.

Oh, lovely, an area of London I've actually walked around, back in 2007. American here, probably won't get back to England again in my lifetime, so I'm really, REALLY enjoying these walks of yours, John. Thank you so much!

[@h.bsfaithfulservant4136]

John Snow pub? I think it’s about time we got a John Rogers pub, isn’t it? 😉

There’s a whole other part of Soho that everyone always misses, the Residents and the families who are from Soho and still live there. Soho is Home to a whole community.

As a Londoner myself I wander around this great City most weekends and at other times when I am not working. Many of the streets you feature in your videos, are streets that I have also visited. However, in every one of your presentations I find things of great interest that I have missed or don't have an in-depth knowledge of. I really enjoy watching these and hope one day to bump into you. Thanks John, and like all of your viewers, I look forward to seeing the record of your next walk, "Wherever that may be".

Bowie phone box is also in Heddon Street, down the side of No.25, and Outside No27 .

The Piccadilly theatre is doing fine now, I drummed in Jersey Boys when it transferred there and it lasted a decent amount of time. Moulin Rouge has been in that theatre for a good amount of time aswell.

I worked in Dean Street in the mid 70’s in a building that overlooked St Anne’s Court, where the ladies of the night worked a busy lunchtime trade as did the sandwich shop. Great comic shop there too. So many memories of places, the original Patisserie Valerie was a daily stop. Wasn’t one of the first open mike comedy clubs around there. Diverse and fabulous area.

John, the street with phone box on the Ziggy Stardust album was taken in Heddon Street the other side of Regent Street from Soho.

The Scene club was in Ham Yard which was shown towards the end of the video.

I particularly enjoyed this one...a stroll down memory lane in an intensely vibrant part of London i have many distant childhood memories of as the son and grandson of Carnaby Street tailors who still had a family workshop until the mid 70s! So i was plunged back into times spent 'up in town' as a kid from the suburbs on the odd Saturday morning or during the school holidays...BIG thanks.

OH WOW ! ! !

[@Gcdellenty]

Awesome video, I love your presentation style. On John Snow, I worked in the field of epidemiology briefly and legend is that John Snow plotted the deaths and their water sources on a map and came to the conclusion that it was the one water pump that was causing the infections - thus John Snow is thought to be the forefather of epidemiology and geo mapping. It is said that he went and broke the handle off the pump himself - but I don't think that is verified.

[@peterclements8523]

What a treat. Really needed to chill out this evening and then saw this pop up, perfect Sunday night to see another of your walks

[@TfL1901]

Shortly after watching your last Soho video, I had to visit to attend an event. I walked around Soho that Sunday morning with new eyes. It was wonderful 😊 I noticed so many things

[@TXMEDRGR]

Your visit to Carnaby Street took me back to my days as a seventeen-year-old backpacker in early 1973. Thanks.

David Bowie's Album cover photo for" Ziggy' was shot across Regent St. In Heddon St.

This weekend has been a slow weekend, not been feeling 100% so this has come at a perfect time because I love this part of London (along with Seven Dials) I always feel a connection with the area.

[@StephenSmith-ge1qf]

Many years ago ( in the 1980's) I lived in Kingly Street. Loved it, such a fantastic area. In those days you could still find places to live in the middle of the West End. Before Kingly Street I had a place in Goodge Street.
