London West End and Soho Walk, England

A walk through London’s West End and Soho area can be a vibrant and diverse experience.

Piccadilly Circus Square: Piccadilly Circus, London W1J 9HS

Throughout the walk, I encountered numerous theaters, art galleries, pubs, and restaurants, offering a range of entertainment and dining options.

My starting point was Leicester Square.  It is a bustling entertainment hub known for its cinemas, theaters, and lively atmosphere.

TKTS is a renowned theater ticket hub in London, providing discounted tickets for same-day shows.

Back to Leicester Square

Inside London Coliseum Theater where the show called “We Will Rock You” is played.

After the show.  They sang over twenty songs of Queen, but only four songs were familiar to me.

On another day, I went to ABBA Arena to see the ABBA concert.  The ABBA Arena is far from Soho, located near Stratford on the western side of London.

This is a concert by digitized ABBA and not the real ABBA.  ABBA is regenerated using computer graphic technology and is shown on a giant LCD TV.

Are they looked real?  No, they looked like computer-generated images, but for ABBA fans, it may be good enough.

On the side of the stage is a real band with real people sometimes playing with the images on the screen.  The music is from the actual ABBA album recording, so the music sounds the same as what people heard.
