    This place is a pretty cool find* for anyone traipsing down Brewer Street…read more The tatty, un-modified exterior - of what was presumably a dry cleaners back in the day, going on the name - is not designed to invite random bypassers inside. Being a Japanese-only manga and bookstore, this place will mean little to most people - including myself. But the set-up - floor to ceiling bookcases creating a mini-warren of Nihon literature, anime and periodicals - is worth popping in to for the experience alone - very 'dépaysant', to borrow a phrase from across the channel. The also seem to do a good line in NTSC / imported games, which could come in handy. To some people. Somewhere. At some point... * If your kanji is up to scratch. Which mine is most certainly not. I just like looking... ~_~

    Not that I've been to all that many karaoke spots in London, but this is one of the first places I…read morewent to, and is still my favorite spot! Its a second hand Japanese bookstore, within an ex-launderette, and with karaoke rooms in the back! I can't say much about the bookstore, but everyone else seems thrilled with the selection there. What I can vouch for are the karaoke rooms in the back! I can't quite remember how much it costs per hour, I think it undercuts a few of the major chains. Reservations require a deposit up front (I believe you have to go to the store to do this). The rooms are really cramped, but what better way to spend time with a bunch of people, screaming at the top of their lungs, than to be squished up against one another?? This place is awesome for a number of reasons: - good selection of English and Japanese songs - BYOB (they have a mini bar fridge for you to keep your stuff cool, and there's a Co-Op around the corner) - You can bring your own snacks and hot food, as long as its nothing too strong smelling Definitely one of the best finds I've stumbled into!

    I stopped into I Love Soho with a few friends in London and it was a really fun little place. Half…read morenovelty bookstore and half sex shop, it was welcoming and naughty without being outright creepy. The upstairs is well-stocked with an eclectic collection of interesting books on sex as well as art, culture, dogs, etc. It offers plenty of attractive browsing material, and as salespeople appear to be very hands off, you can look around at your leisure. It's a small space, but it doesn't feel particularly cramped. There are also greeting cards and the like. Downstairs, you'll find a standard dildo-and-handcuffs porn shop, small but packed with X-rated goods. You can buy DVDs for any taste - a quick look revealed naked fat people, old people, and she-males, among others. The prices seemed a little steep - I don't know who would pay £50 for three DVDs now that the internet's been invented, but I guess someone's keeping this place in business. While we browsed the PG section of I Love Soho, our group of four was approached by a duo of Brits in their early twenties. They were hilarious and engaging and almost seemed like they were enacting a comedy routine. They talked to us about pornography and London, and we explored the downstairs with their running commentary. It was an interesting encounter in an interesting place. I'm rather fond of that sort of thing.

    I Love Soho loves Soho and I love Soho too. Their book selection is excellent. The main floor is…read morefilled with a myriad of art books, discount books and literary classics that would tickle the mind. The basement is more lurid, focussed on tickling the pickle. There is porn galore. If you're into G-rated products or you're bringing the family along, stay upstairs. If you want to get kinky get down in the basement.
