10 Things to do in Soho That You Shouldn't Miss
The crown jewels, Buckingham Palace, Camden Market…in London, history collides with art, fashion, food, and good British ale. A perfect day is different for everyone: culture aficionados shouldn't miss the Tate Modern and the Royal Opera House. If you love fashion, Oxford Street has shopping galore. For foodies, cream tea at Harrod’s or crispy fish from a proper chippy offers classic London flavor. Music and book buffs will love seeing Abbey Road and the Sherlock Holmes Museum (at 221B Baker Street, of course).

This area of London is just wonderful. The quaint streets and cobblestone paths are what I love. There are so many unique boutiques and shops, with pop up restaurants and street foods that it’s just good fun to walk around and get lost down a new left or right turning. All roads lead to somewhere and so there is really no wrong turn. The theatres are all in this area too as well as Covent Garden, Trafalgar Square, Fortnum and Mason and Oxford Street being just small strolls away in different directions.

I have been to the theatre and accompanying bar many times and each time I go I have a great time. Primarily I go to the bar, but the shows I have seen (despite one, when I walked out...) have been great, especially The View Upstairs and Bourgeois and Maurice. The bar staff deserve a special mention as they are absolutely amazing. I'm a member here and they always remember me and are so utterly pleasant. As a member you get discount and a later bar, but, I've found myself coming just to have a drink as the atmosphere is so nice.

As fans of the tv show my wife and I went - will mention the show shortly. The theatre is a beautiful building. It feels like you are on a special night out when you go in and to a saloon. I am not sure if they have recently decorated but it is clean and fresh. ALL the staff we came into contact with were attentive, friendly and helpful and the seats (3rd row of dress circle) afforded excellent views. I even loved the fantastic Bern Schwartz portrait of Sir.John Geilgud. Now the show. If you are a fan of the tv series - go!! The script is excellent, mixing the comedy of the characters with Shakespeare script pieces. The cast are superb. A special mention to Mark Heap and the bear - who can claim to steal the show; but in truth, the whole cast were great. As you can tell I really enjoyed it. So much so that I even had discussions with strangers who had been seated on the same row at the end; where we agreed it was excellent ( note: I have lived in London for 36 years- I do NOT strike up conversations lightly).
