Soho Stories

Paying homage to the multifarious, multicultural melting pot that is our capital city, this series of ‘stories’ aims to capture key areas of London through a range of linked essays and images offering personal and historical reflections.  Our first spotlight is on TPG’s physical and spiritual home: Soho.  Subterranean village, home to a diverse community, site of resistance and the “most creative square mile in the world”, this rich arena continues to provide fertile ground for film-makers, writers, artists, performers, poets…and photographers.
