Hi, cool blog, BTW!
Do you, or anyone, know why Soho on London is so called?
I know the one in Manhattan is due to its position, but I presume the London one was first, and is for a different reason….

Keith, if you click on the ‘panorama’ link in the above post, the page that appears will tell you why. Its hard trying to imagine central London as a big parkland!

Thanks, I knew I should have clicked on that the first time round…
I remember when that wer all fields 😉
That’s very pretty, though I do hope they’ve had that subsidence checked out! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soho claims that
“Soho is named after a hunting cry, dating back to the time when Soho was a small village on the outskirts of a London surrounded by fields.”
