What really happened in Soho?


From a royal hunting ground to one of London’s most colourful districts, Soho has hosted royal scandals, exiled Greeks, artists, musicians, actors and politicians.


Join Andrew Glover for tales of Dylan Thomas in Soho pubs, pianos behind chart hits and larger-than-life figures including Christine Keeler, plus the stories that are often overlooked, or deliberately hidden.
