The Small World of Reel Streets
Yes, it’s a pub crawl, but . . . we also wander through the streets of Soho in London W1 that provided the backdrop for so many films shot during the heyday of British cinema.
Soho can be defined in many ways, heart of our film industry, sleazy clubs, coffee bars and gangsters, but for our purposes we will be walking in the footsteps of Anthony Newley who played the title role in ‘The Small World of Sammy Lee’.
We’ll be meeting up at The Blue Posts on the corner of Rupert Street and Rupert Court W1D 6DJ at 1530hrs. There are several public houses named The Blue Posts in and around Soho so please make sure you arrive at the correct one.
The tour will take a little over 4 hours to complete, stopping off at six pubs on our circuit before ending up at a coffee bar!!
Fingers crossed for the weather.
After the event:
Numbers were a little lower than normal but it gained another dimension with Dom of ‘Soho Bites’ podcast spending the evening with us and recording interviews and general conversation. Hopefully, nothing incriminating was recorded! As usual, it wasn’t until the end of the evening that it was realised no photographs had been taken. Here we are outside the Golden Lion, Dean Street.
Oh yes, and for the record…..the kitty was fully spent.
