Soho is packed with historical associations. John Logie Baird made the
first television broadcast in 1925 from an upstairs room in Frith Street
(http://www.digitalcentury.com/encyclo/update/baird.html). One block further
west, Karl Marx had a house in Dean Street, over the Times Laundry鈥攏ow the
upmarket restaurant Quo Vadis. There is a picture of the house at the Marx and
Engels Internet Archive at
http://csf.colorado.edu/marx/Bio/Photo/Houses/dean.htm. Another two streets
further west, in the old King鈥檚 Arms in Poland Street, the antiquarian and
myth-maker William Stukeley founded the Ancient Order of Druids. You can find
out more about the fanciful link between Stonehenge and the druids at
