SOHO Free Tour, "Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll" in the heart of London. (Not suitable for children under 14 years)
Is it true that you don't know what to do? 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗮𝗻 𝗹𝗲𝗷𝗼𝘀? 🇬🇧 When you arrive at the meeting point you will see 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗴𝗼 🖖, "𝘦𝘭 𝘨𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘰", there is no substitute... Journalist and resident guide in 𝗟 𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗲𝘀 for almost a decade. 👉I love ice skating, noodles, Charing Cross musicals and solving doubts for tourists who get lost. Don't miss it on my tours: 1. Historical accuracy. 2. Have a good time. 3. Lots of drama. 4. Sense of humor. 5. Empathy. The future of Free Tours belongs to independent guides, not to agencies that advertise on Google with hype and cymbals and then ¨ná de ná¨. ☝️ So 𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗘𝗥𝗩𝗔, they take it out of my hands...
Tour description
*Not suitable for children under 14 years of age.
!Done the law done the snare!
From the legalization of piracy to Paul Raymond , going through the transformation of the brothels of the old red light district.
SOHO represents the revolution of the modern era reinventing the nude in theaters or giving the system a fight with the first communist manifesto.
- We begin with the Opium War in Chinatown , going through the misadventures of the most womanizing English king at the origins of this old hunting ground. By the beginning of the 20th century, there was a mixture of restaurants of foreign origin, a fashionable place for intellectuals, writers, and artists.
- We will pass by the famous Red Lion where Marx and Engels met to change the course of history.
- We will tell the anecdotes of the famous Windmill Theater that opened a stage in Burlesque, dodging the censorship of the moment.
- We will walk the streets of the most famous Gay neighborhood in the world remembering the King of SOHO, Paul Raymond, through the clubs that are still open.
- We will talk about the rise of Sex Shops to the decline of Night Clubs, in an area that survived one of the toughest cholera pandemics, thanks to Dr. John Snow.
- Rolling Stones or Jimi Hendrix will accompany us on this adventure in the heart of London, through the streets of the famous Carnaby Street, a symbol of the 70s .
- We will finish in the temple that launched the acclaimed Beatles to fame: The Palladium Theatre, very close to Oxford Circus , where we will put the icing on the cake of our Tour.
If you dare, we can working OUT !!
