Mr Blake’s Tree Full of Angels

A guided Soho walk uses pubs and streets to tell stories about William Blake, local trade, artists and the West End’s drinking culture.

A 2½-hour west Soho walk traces local history through pubs and streets, passing Carnaby Street, Golden Square, Brewer Street and Piccadilly Circus. Its stories include William Blake, a street pump, a department store with its own local, gin palaces and other West End characters. It includes an interval and finishes outside St James’s Tavern on Great Windmill Street.
