Hillwalking
The sex industry
Soho used to be the centre of the gambling and sex industries  run by Italian, Maltese and English gangsters and known as "The Black Mile". A lot of this has gone now although "clip joints" and "near beers" still spring up to be closed down by Westminster Council as soon as proof can be assembled. Anyone looking for this type of entertainment would be well advised to stick to well known establishments such as Raymonds Revue Bar, Stringfellows (Monday to Thursdays only, smart dress) or The Windmill as stories are legion of tourists being fleeced of large sums of money for minimal or non existent "entertainment". If in doubt try asking a local policeman which clubs are not clip joints.
