Soho to Trafalgar Square Walk

This was the first walk I decided to go on, and it surely did not disappoint. Mike, Amanda, Natalie, Collin, Brenden and I chose to do it at night, so that we could get the real feel of the Soho area. That too did not disappoint. It was entirely sketchy, and I loved it. It was interesting to learn how Soho became the way that it is. Who caused this rowdy area to come about? It was first the French, followed by many other foreigners, and that is why Soho is the way it is. Colorful, bright, and crazy! The other greatest highlight of the walk would have to be Chinatown. By the time we got there, my eyes were going a little crazy from all the neon lights, but I adore Chinatown in any city, and London's did not disappoint. Everywhere I looked there was intricate, oriental design, and fun little shops overflowing with Asian goods. It is absolutely amazing to learn that some of these structures have been standing since the 1700s. The architecture is my favorite style, and it is extraordinarly beautiful. Trafalgar Square was a neat sight as well, and it became even more so when I learned of the history. This square, standing for the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, is beautiful. Their is a massive monument, dedicated to Admiral Nelson, who was the victor of the battle. I thouroughly enjoyed this walk, and it actually got me rather excited to do more. I feel that each time I do one of the walks I am increasing my knowledge of London, and it is great to know the city I live in. Exploring has led to some brilliant discoveries thus far!
