Christmas rain – Soho lights reflected in the rainy pavements of London, Dec 2017

Here’s another set of photos taken around Soho this weekend, showing the rainy streets of the capital a week before Christmas.

The magnificent former gas lanterns of the Cock Tavern on Margaret Street, a Victorian pub with a wonderfully ornate interior. A long, narrow pub, it serves the usual range of affordable Samuel Smith beers.

Police car and pedestrian reflections.

The distinctive half-timbered gardener’s hut in Soho Square.

A little known fact is that the Grade II listed mock-Tudor cottage also houses an emergency fire escape exit for a WW2 200 sq ft brick and concrete shell shelter in its centre. [—]
