Yes, and there's another one just round the corner in Carlisle Street (outside Private Eye's office). They both seem to have drills, so I suspect they're taking some core samples to see just what's underneath Soho before they have to start tunnelling.

Lots of Betamax porn tapes and old copies of Private Eye.

And patisserie.

(I speak as one wqho used to visit his godfather's premises on Brewer Street. If you look in the right place, you can still find a stone door lintel with the name 'Floris' on.)
