VOX City Walks | My Soho Times
So… our precious freedom is finally here and the urge for a city break is strong. I think it’s fair to say most of us are keen to get out and about, see the sights, and then sit at a table sipping a drink watching the world go by, continental style.

The King of Soho
Gift the Spirit of Soho!
Did you know Soho has its very own Gin? Launched in 2013 by Alex Robson and Howard Raymond, The King of Soho encapsulates the spirit of London’s most dynamic entertainment district… homage to the life and legacy of the original King of Soho, Paul Raymond.
The King of Soho London Dry Gin & Variorum Gin (a pink berry edition) available at Gerry’s Wines and Spirits, Old Compton Street.
Aloha65
Your dad doesn’t fit neatly into a box – and neither should his drink!
Aloha65 is neither a “gin” or “vodka”. It’s a spirit drink infused with fresh pineapple, lemon, ginger, scotch-bonnet chillies and carefully selected herbs and spices. Delicious as a shot, a refreshing long-drink, or a unique heart of a great cocktail, Aloha 65 is all-natural, vegan, and lower in alcohol than many of the usual suspects. Original and mould-breaking, it’s an invitation to live life to the full.
Soho Pin
Nothing quite shows the love of London’s most dynamic area then wearing it on your chest with pride. Gift your dad one (or both!) of our metal badge pins. Available exclusively via My Soho Times fundraiser.

With it being a year since the first lockdown, most of us have spent more time in our homes than ever before. So we could all probably do with a little (or large) Spring Clean – but why should our homes get all the attention? Surely our bodies and minds deserve a little spruce up too – especially after the year we’ve all had?
