Publisher's Synopsis

This is a celebration of London's most fascinating quarter, attempting to capture the intrigue, enticement and atmosphere of the Bohemian world, illustrated with photographs. The author decribes the principal venues of the time such as the York Minster, Wheeler's, the Caves de France and the Colony and draws profiles of the true Soho personalities he knew, among them David Archer, John Deakin, Francis Bacon, Muriel Belcher, Nina Hamnett and Colin MacInnes. Dan Farson has also written "The Man Who Wrote Dracula", "Henry Williamson: A Personal Memoir", "Out of Step", "A Window by the Sea" and "Jack the Ripper".
