This street was featured on the cover of Oasis'
‘What's the Story? Morning Glory' LP, and is
also home to a tiny market in the heart of Soho.

Soho is that rather strange little area in central London
occasionally described as London's infamous sex district.
This is where you can find (if you are looking!) small rooms
high above the street corners dimly lit by a red light bulb
with a cardboard sign in the window saying
“model” and there are the last of the seedy sex
shops and tourist rip-off peep shows. At night time, you can
see couples walking arm in arm, on their way to one of
Soho's famous watering holes.

In the day time, the area is fascinating and home to many TV,
PR and film production companies and has many extremely good
restaurants and Berwick Street Market. Tucked away between
Oxford Street and Old Compton Street, Berwick Street Market
is renowned for its quality fruit and vegetables. Here you
will find from Mon-Sat, 9am-5pm clusters of cheap and
colourful fruit and veg stalls, as well as lots of off-beat
record shops.

Dotted along the market are some stalls with great specialist
foods, such as fish, cheese, sausages of all kinds, herbs and
spices as well as a fabulous stall selling all manner of nuts
and dried fruits for peckish (hungry) shoppers. There are
some semi-interesting interesting shops that line the market
where you can buy spangly belts, flared trousers and
“recreational” pipes.
