Soho was once a seething hotbed of creativity. Between the seedy sex shops and massage parlours, ad agencies rubbed shoulders with production companies, recording studios, illustration studios, editing suites, and publishing houses. And after working hours, the bars and bistros were full to gunwales with creative types and celebrities from the world of showbiz. It was clearly the place to be seen.
Sadly, London's exciting, dynamic, sizzling quarter that the media world generated in abundance in a once hard-edged Soho (and Fitzrovia) has gone forever. The advertising industry has shrunk, shrivelled and dispersed. The film companies, production studios and facilities houses have gone the same way. All that's left are the ghosts of a once-thriving, unique and tightly-wound community of creatives on a mission. These stories are inspired by that loss.
