Private Walking Tour of Soho, Chinatown, and the West End
Explore the historic streets of Soho and experience the unparalleled excitement of this vibrant neighborhood.
Home to the beautiful theatres of the West End, the area is full of actors, musicians, and artists of all stripes, and consequentially is a hub of gourmet restaurants and fabulous bars too. Walk around the colorful Chinatown with its deliciously mouth-watering aromas, and learn all about its fascinating history; get lost down the cobbled alleys around the magnificent Seven Dials; move away from the tourist traps on Oxford Circus and wander down the glittering Carnaby Street, stop in at Liberty, a famous shopping emporium.
You’ll pass several historic places, including the Dog & Duck on Bateman Street, a pub from the mid-1700s, Royalty House - formerly Miss Kelly’s theatre, and where Charles Dickens worked as a stagehand, and Quo Vadis - the building where Karl Marx’s family lived in the mid 19th century, and where Engles and Marx worked together on the Communist Manifesto! Admire the seamless blend of traditional old pubs, with modern clothes and music shops. Learn all about the people who made the area special, from rock stars to actors, political figures to writers.
