A new photography exhibition captures the many faces of London’s Soho.
Photographer Andrew Leo’s series aims to share the stories of locals from the community – capturing individuals from all walks of life.
Andrew was inspired during a bike ride, back in lockdown, and seeing everyone out on their everyday walks.
He chatted and photographed the residents and listened to their stories for a few hours every day.

The photographer said: ‘I was convinced these flamboyant and interesting-looking people wouldn’t have time for this bloke on his bike – but I was always proved wrong and ended up having lovely long conversations with people.
‘It was like therapy.’
