Soho & West End

London

A vibrant fusion of trendy and tacky. This area leads a promiscuous double life: whilst still a Red Light district, it is also a respectable drinking and dining area. China Town is vibrant, while the area also offers a host of other cuisines from British to vegetarian, French and Thai where Londoners from all over congregate. Chinese New Year is always a very colourful spectacle. Leicester Square and Piccadilly are a tourist frenzy. The revamped Leicester Square is home to several bright and shiny multiplexes and is no stranger to star-studded film premieres. By day see Eros or visit the wax effigies (plus plenty more) at the Rock Circus while by night, a plethora of bars, pubs and clubs keep the punters happy. Stroll down Piccadilly - pop into Fortnum & Mason, take tea at the Ritz or shop in the sartorially elegant Jermyn Street and Regent Street.
