7 Meard Street – Nope, no prostitutes here
So I was walking to Princi with a friend of mine yesterday which is a hideously overpriced but really delicious cafe / restaurant in Soho and I passed this door. I really wonder what would make a landlord go to all that trouble to put up a sign like this? I say landlord, because the building had clearly been divided into six separate flats.
This was obviously a very posh part of town once. Shame that each of these beautiful terraced houses have been divided up into what are no doubt tiny overpriced flats.
This is not a brothel. There are no prostitutes at this address.
It makes you wonder doesn’t it.
It would be funny if a prostitute did move in. I wonder if they would request that the sign be taken down?
maybe he does have some in there but doesnt want anyone to know about it
It’s just an in-joke from the late dandy artist Sebastian Horsley who lived there. Also, it did used to be a brothel at one stage
Hey thanks! Hadn’t heard of him before, but then I read Wikipedia and now I know! The same sign in the photo is even in that article.
Finally after theonline george adamson angered his student alexander athos adamson to pay in the connection
The whole street used to be a brothel in the 1980s – it was an extraordinary place at night. There was one house at the narrow end that had bars on the windows where girls disported themselves. You were lucky to get through the street with your clothes still on your back!
