Soho.
I heard Soho had been cleaned up a lot in recent years, but perhaps I was misinformed?
It has, but there are still a few sex shops around.

By up they mean there are no longer (as many) prostitutes openly plying their trade on the street and not many drug deals going on in the alleyways. Anyone who used to go to Soho in the 80s will remember what it used to be like, it's now very tourist-friendly and safe. But as I said, there's a few sex shops still tucked away, generally around Brewer Street / Rupert Street but elsewhere too.

So if this locale has been up out of the area, where has this drugs/prostitution component moved to?

The hookers moved out to King's Cross, though that's undergoing a considerable rejuvenation and crackdown at the moment so they've regularly been moved on from there, too.

I'm sure there are abundance of haunts for prostitutes these days, although the only one I know for sure (because I commute through the area) is roughly speaking Shacklewell Lane in Hackney. But trust me, someone who's already standing looking for business at 8am so she's got enough cash to obtain a wrap of crack that morning is not somebody you want to put your dick anyplace near.

Better than soho sex shops is coco de mer in seven dials. It's a boutique adult shop and is relatively exciting and beautiful.
Only if you're in the market for a £1000 sex pony though

You can stumble on Victoria Secrets stores everywhere. Is that not what he's after? Am I being naive?

Good to know. Drugs and prostitution are not my thing although it has been my understanding that an area in no way is utterly cleaned up of an element. More that the has been moved to a new area. Clip joints are something I would like to steer clear of and Shoreditch has been mentioned as where they have moved to.

The internet is the bona fide red light neighborhood these day. Just Google escorts
