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
