- London's Soho neighborhood is an energetic place located in the West End. It features a variety of dining, shopping, and nightlife options. I had the opportunity to walk through the streets of Soho on a Saturday Night, and it was interesting to see all the people about. It started to rain during my walk, and many people weren't prepared for it!

Enjoyable and relaxing Saturday night walk , so many nice looking restaurants etc , especially at the Dean Street😎Thank you for sharing this great and relaxing walk A K🙂👍!!!
Glad you enjoyed it! It was sure active!
Glad I got to take a peek!! ☂️
Can you imagine how busy it gets on a summer night, when the sun sets at 11pm and all the tables are out and everyone's in the streets with a drink in their hand? Tbh this is actually one of the quietest nights Ive seen for Soho on a weekend, not helped by the cold and rain - about half a million-1 million can pass through on a night in this entertainment district alone (Soho, Chinatown, Leicester Sq, Piccadilly). But London has loads of different nightlife districts - Soho, Shoreditch, Brixton, Hackney, Peckham, Vauxhall, Clapham
SOHO London looks like West Village,Manhatttan,Gaslamp of San Diego, Quicy Market area of Boston meets South Street of Philly.😊
7:17 - fun fact about the pub The Three Greyhounds (the Tudor looking building). It has been a drinking establishment for centuries, and has been frequented by everyone from classical composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to punk royalty The Sex Pistols and The Clash. It was also in a scene in the film "Bend It Like Beckham" starring Keira Knightley (who later was in "Love Actually" and a few of the "Pirates Of The Caribbean" films).
It's owned by a London brewery called Nicholson's who sell their own beer (nice stuff too) at a low price for the big city. They have another pub in Covent Garden called The White Lion that my wife and I like when we're in London - the pub food is good and they had a "two can dine" offer on the menu when we were there last.
16:47 the music trivia continues (there's so many music locations in London's West End) ...that alleyway between the two adult shops would have led you from Rupert Street, onto Walker's Court for a short block, and then to Berwick Street - if you had taken that route, you would inadvertently have captured a night version of the scene on the album cover of "What's The Story (Morning Glory)" by Oasis. One of the best-selling rock albums in the world in 1995 and 1996. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/(What's_the_Story)_Morning_Glory%3F#Cover
min 37:35 Londoners are used to bad weather, so it doesn't bother them when it rains and they don't let it spoil their fun. A Londoner doesn't immediately cover himself with countless items of clothing just to protect himself from the rain.
Lovely walk-the ☔️ rain, the neon lights, the beautiful buildings and cobblestone streets.💖💖💖
Glad you enjoyed it!
Imagine what Soho would be like on a summer Friday/Saturday evening. Nuts!
Soho in the summer is energetic.
The ladies are very stylish
I could only imagine!
Welcome to the UK 🇬🇧 from the UK 🇬🇧 love your new York videos. Pop in west Bromwich for a cup of tea if you up this way ❤😊😊
crazy all the people smoking, must be bothersome! and all that rain! but lovely cobblestone streets and some nice looking pubs, too !
Great video ActionKid. You're right, it is like the village in Manhattan but way busier. 😮
Exactly!
Thanks for sharing. It seems to be fun walking in Soho during the night.
It really is!
I’m really enjoying your visit to London videos. It looks similar to New York but quieter.
Happy to hear that!
Interesting to know there's a Soho in London, and some of the spots are quite charming. 😎 The rain did not deter people from enjoying their Saturday night, and it was nice to see the colorful light reflections on the wet streets. 😍 Thank you for sharing this rainy night walk, AK! 🤗
Yes this Soho is the original one the same with Greenwich the two places in New York are named after london.
@@ChasH-sy2oh Awesome! 😃
That's true! There’s so much to see here
@@ActionKid Hope you're having a good time in London hopefully you managed to avoid the large scale march yesterday.
Remember, London has been around for almost 2,000 years. Everything you think that originated in America would have come first from England and taken over to America by English colonialists and settlers. Including those MOST American things you can think of: Examples:
- Apple pie
- The stock exchange
- Capitalism
- The bill of rights
- The US National anthem is sung to the tune of an old English drinking song (To Anacreon In Heaven)
-Baseball (yes, baseball!)
- The English language itself.
I love the rain 🌧 ! It has been pretty relentless for the last 2 weeks though, should have been here in June AK, we had at least 2 weeks of sunshine and we moaned about that too.
Oh wow!
I already know I’m gonna enjoy this🚶🏻♂️
Perfect
another great walk just a little word of advice when using the cash point machines before putting your card in just give the front a little tug and always hide your number most or the time they are ok
Good tip!
How small the world is, I saw that you also met people from America Distances don't matter anymore Thank you for the walks in the rain😀
My pleasure, thanks for watching!
Hey Ken I love this area of London! The Mayfair area is also cool! It's posh and kind of elegant but it has beautiful stores and hotels! I always like to stroll through that area when visiting London! Beautiful design! Your videos are fabulous as always!! Cheers! 🙂
I totally agree! Thanks so much for watching
27:06Mayor Sadiq's magnificent traffic-congestion-generating improvements showing their worth there. Narrow the road to one lane and design traffic lights to cause congestion so that ambulance can't get through. Brilliant. Congratulations. 👏 🙄
Glad to see Lina Stores is still trading. Best Italian grocer in London.
Great London vlogs AK. I remember you from Sarah’s NYC videos.
The rain 🌧 fails to put a damper on an exciting Saturday night walk 🚶♂️ in trendy Soho as The ActionKid mingles with the hipsters ! 🐼
2:41 heavens, the Hare Krishnas. Good to see they're still in business
May I recommend some walks?
- Hampstead Heath for the view of London and the surrounding neighbourhoods
- a mooch around the Barbican Centre into the back roads of Clerkenwell onto Lamb’s Conduit St and Great Ormand St.
- Broadway Market/ London Fields to Victoria Park
- Along the river from Tower Bridge into Rotherhithe with a stop at the Mayflower
- Camden High Street to Primrose Hill (or up to Hampstead)
- Wapping to Canary Wharf along the river (canary wharf is just a business centre tho, so not much to do and you’re from NYC, so the buildings won’t blow you away)
People all seem happy, no scowls and confrontational stares. Was the U.S. ever like this?
0:14
Are the clip joints still around in Soho?
Nice video
I need to live someplace with nightlife like this, and with a really good, powerful, fast phone signal everywhere I go, including where I live.
@@ActionKid Thanks!
LONDON IS A SIMULATION LMAOO
24:17 above that bar Karl Marx and Trotsky lived, and where he wrote his manifesto
Same in Paris €1.50😂
London doesnt actually rain that much , and when it does it's relatively light and short (though you are visiting in the wettest month, November), with annual precipitation less than half of NYC and usually less than Mexico City, Rome, Melbourne and on par with Tel Aviv. In drought years (a cycle every decade for a decade) it can even fall into semi-arid territory technically, and why the grass dies en masse every summer and the parks resemble dustbowls. However, it is very overcast and the appearance of the sun is source of UFO reports and small children running inside.
"As usual, it's raining in London".
Personally, I wouldn't have come in the wettest month of the year but you did and November happens once a year, not usual. We have this other season called Summer. There are weeks with no rain. And isn't New York wetter than London anyway?
The changing faces of Soho, way to gentrified to what it used to be like.
I can imagine it was different than before
@@ActionKid Hi Ken, Soho has had a chequered history, probably at its peak around the swinging 60s this includes Carnaby St, then took a down turn in the 70s and got very seedy till the 80s, this is when I started working in Soho as a motorcycle messenger for the lifo graphic industry which was then it's home alone with the rag trade from the mid 80s Soho started to change money started to roll in and the gentrification started, covent garden was in the same ballpark I remember walking around there in the late seventies 😁 very working class bit of a tip, how things have changed.
Dog and Duck look awesome fish and chips!!!
👍👍
Would be cool if you could team up with watched walker.
Watched Walker ❤
So much rain on this trip, I bet AK is missing Florida something fierce
Are you planning on visiting Paris?
All walks of life. What a lively town. Harry Potterish❤
Some of those shops titles are way dodgy lol
Real glitch in the matrix moment about ten minutes in on this video, with the redhead & her guy. lol
Edit: Timestamp was at 8:25 actually, during it's premiere play, but isn't doing it now. Weirdness.
Timestamp?
@@Annie-fq5jpIt had been at 8:25, during premiere play, but isn't there anymore, on replay. Weird.
Absence of bright flashy led lightings street buildings bright colourful decorations every things look dark and gloomy 😂
It's how we like it
Москва лучшая
So why so many Russians prefer to live in London 😂
