Plenty of choice for your pub crawl in Soho, London.
These pictures were taken at a specific time. It was Friday September 20th between 7pm and 8pm. The idea was to complete the crawl in one hour as the light was going fast.
Note: All pictures taken with a BlackBerry 9790.

At this time office workers in Soho are the first to arrive. If the weather is good they congregate on the pavement rather than inside. This is the real reason why I took the pictures. Punters take over the streets and change the nature of the city.
As it is the end of summer I was not sure when this phenomenon would happen again. So I had to be quick.

All pubs are within a 200 meter radius from the centre of Old Soho which would be somewhere around Meard Street. If you are going to crawl twenty-two pubs and one Latin bar in one evening, let me warn you than many before you have tried and failed. With dire consequences.

Did I crawl the pubs myself on this evening? Answer is at the end.

Answer: No! I didn't engage in effective pub crawling this time. It was just a photo-crawl or I woudn't have finished in time!
