7 Meard Street – Nope, no prostitutes here
So I was walking to Princi with a friend of mine yesterday which is a hideously overpriced but really delicious cafe / restaurant in Soho and I passed this door. I really wonder what would make a landlord go to all that trouble to put up a sign like this? I say landlord, because the building had clearly been divided into six separate flats.
This was obviously a very posh part of town once. Shame that each of these beautiful terraced houses have been divided up into what are no doubt tiny overpriced flats.
This is not a brothel. There are no prostitutes at this address.
It makes you wonder doesn’t it.
It would be funny if a prostitute did move in. I wonder if they would request that the sign be taken down?
maybe he does have some in there but doesnt want anyone to know about it
It’s just an in-joke from the late dandy artist Sebastian Horsley who lived there. Also, it did used to be a brothel at one stage
Hey thanks! Hadn’t heard of him before, but then I read Wikipedia and now I know! The same sign in the photo is even in that article.
