Bar Italia on Frith Street was immortalised in the 1995 song of the same name by Pulp, but it had already achieved semi-legendary status thanks to its 24-hour opening times and Soho location, making it the perfect haunt for colourful characters and people-watching. Head here after a night out and grab a table on the pavement if it’s warm enough, from where you can watch the area’s nightly activities. If you’re feeling peckish there is pizza and cake too.
