Business in London's Soho is not going well and the designer menswear shop that Clayton Littlewood runs with his partner, Jorge Betancourt, is under threat. Will they survive?

Following on from his award-winning diary Dirty White Boy: Tales of Soho. Littlewood is back, watching the hookers, the gangsters, the rent boys and following the same strange characters who make up this strangest of villages. Will eccentric artist Raqib Shaw continue on his path to artistic immortality? Can Sue and Maggie, the Soho madams, keep the law at bay? What will become of Chico, the imprisoned ex-Diana Ross impersonator? And what of the Prince of Soho himself, Sebastian Horsley? Will America welcome him to its shores?

Goodbye to Soho is a snapshot of modern London - a Samuel Pepys diary for the Soho subculture.

Members Reviews:

Goodbye to Soho is Smashing!

Clayton Littlewood has done it again! A great read. I feel like I'm literally back on the streets of London's Soho as an observer to the many interesting and outrageously quirky events that occur daily.

Anyone who loves Soho....

.......should read this bitter-sweet memoir. There are so many "endings", I can only hope for a follow up book about new beginnings!
