For as long as anyone can remember, Soho has been the fluttering heart of London. Its storied pubs, shops, trattoria, gambling dens and nightclubs are every bit as alive as the millions of tourists, locals and cross-town visitors who crowd the streets all year round. People from all walks of life are made and unmade in Soho, and few knew it better than Frank Norman and Jeffrey Bernard, who collaborated on the 1966 book, Soho Night & Day, which quickly became a collectors’ item and was reissued last year. Writers and raconteurs, the pair haunted Soho’s establishments for much of their lives. While Bernard was renowned for his “Low Life” column in The Spectator, the book collected his photos of the Soho he loved, juxtaposed with insightful commentary by Norman, an acclaimed novelist in his own right.
