Where are the nose's.

Scattered around Soho are seven sculpted noses on buildings.

A peculiar myth says that if you are lucky enough to find all seven you will be wealthy for evermore.

It is rumoured that the seven noses are the casts of sculptor Rick Buckley’s own nose.
He first left casts of his nose in 1996, although he didn’t stop there and left his final cast in 2005.

Many locals and tourists have been walking around Soho trying to find all the noses to see if this myth is true, however, not all seven have been found to date.

Noses have been found on Meard Street, Bateman street, Dean street and Great Windmill Street and on Endell Street.

Other body parts have been found too, a cast of an ear has been found on Floral Street.
So, perhaps this urban myth isn’t true.

However, with finding all seven noses resulting in never-ending riches it makes a good tale.
