Even in the heart of trendy Soho, there are still some wonderfully old-fashioned, old-school, proudly unhip pubs to be found.

I didn’t realize the traffic jams were this bad in London, but kids are reenacting them with their toys. Poor traumatized mites.

The stretch of street between Leicester Square and Piccadilly Circus.

Very festive.

One of the reasons I love London so much is that it is full of secret nooks and crannies like Ching Court, in Seven Dials, near Covent Garden.
