This is the busiest square mile in the capital over 24 hours. You're bang in the middle of the city, it's neon-bright at night and the pavement cafes and bars are excellent people-watching spots during the day. It's a bit grubby in places but that's part of its unique charm. You can't say you've really seen London until you've had a saunter round Soho
