Quirky London 3: The Giant Plug

Posted on 3 February 20102 April 2021 by Rob Ainsley


Where is it? At the west end of Ganton St, just off Carnaby St in swinging Soho.

What’s quirky about it? It’s, um, a giant plug. Maybe a reminder of those ancient days when your company’s computer was the size of a small factory, and your electricity bill the size of a round.

Why bike there? This is shopping-bag London – Regent St, Oxford St, Liberty’s, etc etc. So you’ll probably want to lock your bike up somewhere, in the unlikely event you can find a spare rack.
