SOHO VICE.....Guided walking tour
Details
Another fascinating walk from our member Barrie. This time he explores the underworld of Soho with great stories to tell, one or two of them personal...but not too many.
SOHO VICE Tasty Tales From London's Red Light District
Gamblers & Gangsters. Pimps & Prostitutes. Pushers & Pornographers.
On this tour you'll hear all about the infamous West End vice squad and the Sex trade that paid them handsomely as well as the notorious Kray twins and their contemporaries, Jack Spot and the crime king Billy Hill. Not forgetting the 'mad' man himself
We'll tell you all about the craziness of the "Roaring Twenties" and the wild abandon of Soho during the war when anything went as the populace didn't know if they would still be alive the next day.
You'll find out about the drug scene, prostitution, strip clubs and clip joints, gang fights and beatings, pimps and protection rackets, - and sex and soft porn
The walk which will be illustrated by historic photos, will take around two hours and costs £14 payable on the day but with Barrie guiding the group you always get your moneys worth!
