I feel as if I've just eaten a "full English" with all the trimmings!
Glorious piece. Reading all of your posts it is clear that Soho is/was a kind of Bermuda Triangle in reverse. A hyper-fertile area, culturally speaking. Reading this particular post, it occurs to me that it may have influenced the Beatles' rapid rise to some extent, after all, it must have been a wildly stimulating place for them to be, given their capabilities.
I loved "Magical Mystery Tour", the album and the film. When I was a kid one of the posters on my bedroom wall was of the four of them walking down the stairs wearing their white suits.
Musically speaking, George seemed to have the capacity to make lemonade out of lemons - I rather like "Only a Northern Song "from Yellow Submarine!
A marvellous read with beautiful pics as usual, and ta so much for the mention! 💛
Thank you very much Jules. I did pack a fair bit in - but I left even more out, and as I was finishing it off unearthed a belter of a story that I’ll tell another time!
Fabulous. What a place. It makes me wonder about the ley lines of Soho. So much magic. And like you say the people created the cultural hotbed but Soho must hold something special.
Fantastic piece Mike it dances along. I always wanted a pair of Beatles’ Boots too.

Very much looking forward to that! 🤓
Fantastically comprehensive. So disappointed that I can’t do the walk (clashing date) now that I know about it. Next time!
Thank you! We do walks every three to four months. Different themes each time. Can’t do it more often as I live in Edinburgh!
I live even further from London! I’ll keep watching the dates
Fascinating! I loved reading this.
Thank you Sophie!

Thank you Margaret - and thanks for sharing it too. I must admit I’ve not looked into the ley lines! But I have looked into the boots!
A great read as ever Mike. See you on the 5th April . X
Thank you! Yes, looking forward to seeing you then! X
