Soho, Streets of Light

Soho, Streets of Light collects the best of John Ingledew’s pictures of London’s Soho. Since the late 1970s, photographer John Ingledew has documented the changing face of Soho, picturing its people and the nightclubs, music venues, pubs, dives and stores, the market, the restaurants, cafes, clip joints and strip clubs that have made it the capital’s most famous and infamous neighbourhood. These pages present a visual record of Soho, in black-and-white and vivid colour, capturing the highs and lows of this irrepressible locale as it rolled with the punches through the late 20th century and beyond. Following in the footsteps of Frank Norman and Jeffrey Bernard’s legendary book, Soho Night & Day (republished by ACC Art Books in 2024), Soho, Streets of Light strikes a celebratory tone, inviting the reader to immerse themselves in this most boisterous corner of the UK’s historic capital.
