The dismal quarter of Soho seen under these changing glimpses, with its muddy ways, and slatternly passengers, and its lamps, which had never been extinguished or had been kindled afresh to combat this mournful re-invasion of darkness, seemed, in the lawyer’s eyes, like a district of some city in a nightmare.

Great description by R.L. I actually miss Soho, one of the few things about London I do miss.
Best wishes, Pete.

I used to walk there from Redhill Street, so had no issues with that. 🙂
