A busy summer afternoon at the top end of Rupert Street in 1977, looking north toward Brewer Street and the unmistakable frontage of the Raymond Revuebar. The entrance to Walkers Court—the narrow alley running between Brewer Street and Peter Street—sits just beneath the red Revuebar sign to the left of the “cinema” lettering, directly below the small window visible in the photo. In 1977 this stretch of Soho was a lively jumble of flower sellers, clothing stalls and street traders; today the same pitches are mostly occupied by modern street-food vendors. To the right, the building carrying the old Rockingham sign now houses the gay lifestyle store Prowler, reflecting the area’s ever-shifting landscape. Much of Walkers Court has since been redeveloped, with major construction works taking place around the Revuebar site in recent years. This photo captures Soho at its 1970s peak—colourful, chaotic, and packed with life.
