SOOOOHOOOO!!!! (The hunter and the hunted)

 Soho gains its name from the areas original usage as hurting grounds. The word Soho itself was a hunting cry. There is something of it's current nature that continues a predatory atmosphere. Is the human figure a neo-Artemis or the subject of a bestial gaze?

Not overly fond of this one, doubt it will ever be made.

Wealth and Taste

London has history with the devil like much of Britain.  If he's not moving cathedrals to confuse monks he's making you an offer too good to pass up.

On the 27th January 1626 the social climbing Hatton Family are rumored to have excepted the offer of wealth and power. The deal was sealed with a party in which Lady Elizabeth Hatton dance with the devil himself.

The devil became boisterous and killed Elizabeth leaving her perpetually beating heart behind.
"torn limb from limb, but with her heart still pumping blood."

The Street where the deal was struck became know as Bleeding Heart Yard and is named so still.

Make Do and Mend

 After the London blitz the metal stretchers used during the raids were used as garden fences in some parts of the city. Some areas still retain these make do and mean fences(as does the end of my road).

Red cross of rose thorn, medicl equipment and the grid of the fence.
Better to remove an component such as the tools and add more plant life.

Aldini's monster

 Giovanni Aldini unable to test his theories in bio electrical science came to London from Milan to be able to experiment in returning life to the recently departed.

Allegedly ensuring the conviction of Gorge Foster of the murder of his wife and child on mere hearsay so as the ensure a fresh subject, Giovanni Aldini began his grim experiment in 1803. 

Mary Shelly is said to have based the novel Frankenstein on these events that transpired in a little house in Newgate.
