CHAPTER

The Windmill Theatre in Soho

I have a small white box for writing above the Windmill Theatre in Soho. They've just put a license in to do actual sex there so I'm quite excited to be above a sex shop, some kind of performative sex place. It is a really old school Soho corner of Soho because I think a lot of Soho isn't really like that anymore. The landlord was this guy who made porn in Soho, owned a lot of it and his daughters now own a lot of the buildings. And they are very keen for Soho not to become just kind of like Starbucks and McDonald's with people here making stuff that isn't kind of big business.
