I actually went on this walk last weekend but kept putting it off. "Bonking" London wasn't about crazy people but about sex!! Specifically the sex trade-at one point in the 1700s, one in sixth Londoners was a prostitute. Not a walk for Grandma Harkness!!
The Theatre Royal Haymarket-prostitutes used to walk the stalls during the interval plying their trades
A Horseguard- they were frequent customers
The flowers in St James Park-in the 1700 and 1800s, this was "the place" for sex
An Adult store in Soho-district known for "adult" entertainment
Soho Bookshop-one in a chain of six adult bookshops in Soho-not a very big area
Nothing to do with sex-just a display in a shop window near my house
