Soho to Trafalgar was such a fun walk! This district is interesting because there is such a variety of people, attractions, history, etc. Kristen, Andrea, Nick, and I did this walk together one afternoon. We started off the walk at Goodge St. station -- what a funny name! We saw Pollock's Toy Museum and Soho soon after and then walked for a long time through Soho which is pretty much a shopping/eating district, but it also had some interesting/questionable locales too. Chinatown was definitely a highlight of the walk for me. I've never been to one before in any big city and this one was pretty crazy! Next we wound our way through to the theatre district and saw a bunch of theatres with major and minor productions, including the Queen's Theatre, where we saw Les Mis later that night! One funny thing that happened on the walk was when we passed by a bunch of street artists right around Leicester Square who did portraits/caricatures. We kind of wanted to get one, but it was a little pricey and the guy was ticked off when Nick told him we'd check the other prices. He told us not to come back! We decided not to get one done after all, haha. Of course, the walk ended in Trafalgar Square, which is one of my favorite parts of London. I love the hustle and bustle of this part of the city; there is always something interesting going on!
