Apparently the name 'Soho' originates from Royal Huntsmen who are said to have hunted here in the park lands crying out 'So-Ho!'. Although Soho once had a notoriously sleazy 'red light district' image, the reality today is that it has become a victim of 'yuppification.' Its street are lined with an odd amalgam of gourmet restaurants, trendy cafes, theatres and nightclubs with a scattering of X-rated shops. Soho has an international flavour and an exciting counter cultural history which includes the Jazz, Rock and Punk scenes.
