There were those string of fires, including Satsuma restaurant when the fire brigade had to shut off Old Compton Street due to further risk from a gas mains. Then we had all those blackouts during the heat wave, followed by a stabbing and gas attack. I’m sure these things go on all the time and we wouldn’t have noticed so many of them if we’d have been at our 9-5s (well, 8-4 for me and what, 8-8 for you?) The gas attack has been the incident that has played on my mind the most. Soho has the strongest community I’ve experienced in London, maybe anywhere. To imagine people coming in and making a decision to maliciously disturb/harm people who have chosen to be part of that community is horrible.
