This is where the Queen lives if you want to see it. Possibly worth a look at it's blandness. Looks more suited to a telephone exchange than a place for queens and kings, etc.

Drinks & Nightlife
The heart of Soho's daytime cafe culture and evening bar & restaurant culture. You can see it from the window it's so close. 5 min walk to most big theatres from here too.

Leicester Sq used to be beautiful with a big old iron fence. The local council made it rubbish. Still worth a wander to see 1000's of other people wandering. Cinemas, casino's, clubs.

Rupert St runs down into Chinatown, London's resiliant Chinese community with restaurants, markets and shops to turn normal people into dolls. Massage shops, good eating and fun. I walk there daily.
