There was nowhere as cosmopolitan in 1950s Britain as Soho, the night-life and coffee-shop capital of London. This half-hour film ‘Sunshine in Soho’ explores the markets and speciality shops of Soho, a long excerpt on the carnival, before turning to the coffee shops towards the end.
It's the man who played 'William tell' a Robin Hood hero in my childhood days. Recognise a few of the shops still open now. I'll have a word with the boys on the fruit and veg stalls in Berwick street and make sure they start wearing a shirt and tie for work like they did in this film, brilliant hahaha.
