Tourist Trap: Beware The Sexy Ladies!

When walking through Soho, central London, you may be approached by very scantly clad ladies who want to take you somewhere (its not usually certain where you're going). They will proceed to take you to a strip club or a brothel, and once you're in its hard to get out without your wallet being considerably lighter than when you went in.

At Least Do This: My best advice on this subject is that if you're approached by one of these 'ladies', just say that you're not interested and keep on walking. If you end up inside a club or brothel that you dont want to be in, let it be known that you're not going to be spending any money and try to get out.
Alternative: If you enjoy the pleasures that these places offer, and you want to visit one, opt for the larger establishments rather than the small, backstreet ones. At least you wont get stripped off all your hard earned cash if you dont want to be. I suggest Stringfellows.

Tourist Trap: Soho Again

Again in Soho, you may be approached by grubby looking men who want to take you to the 'women'. If you let them take you to a stripclub or brothel, they will then inform you that they require a finders fee, and you will not get away from them until they've got something off you.

At Least Do This: Avoid at all costs!
Alternative: If you want to find a stripclub etc, do it yourself. Alternatively, stay away from Soho at night, it can be a dangerous place!
