/ About Soho▾
Soho was built up in the late seventeenth century on former open ground known as Soho Fields, with Soho Square laid out in the 1680s as its centrepiece and first named King Square in honour of Charles II. Immigrants shaped the parish from the start — French Huguenots settled here in numbers after 1688, followed by Italian, Greek and Jewish communities — giving Soho a cosmopolitan character it has never lost. Its tight grid of narrow streets, unusual in the West End, keeps the density and creative energy that have always set the district apart from its grander neighbours.
For events, Soho trades on atmosphere rather than grandeur. Wardour Street became the centre of the British film trade after 1918, and the area is still dense with screening rooms and post-production studios — a working media quarter as much as a going-out one. Members’ clubs are woven through it: Soho House opened its first house on Greek Street in January 1995. Alongside them run restaurants, bars and music rooms of every kind, and Ronnie Scott’s — the jazz club that opened in 1959 and has stood at 47 Frith Street since 1965 — remains the enduring emblem of Soho after dark.
The dining runs the length of Old Compton Street, Dean Street and Frith Street, a concentration of restaurants and bars matched nowhere else in central London, with licensing that keeps the pavements busy long after the rest of the West End has quietened. Soho Square offers a rare patch of green at the northern end, a garden set among the offices and studios. For access the district is ringed by stations — Tottenham Court Road on the Central, Northern and Elizabeth lines, with Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square and Oxford Circus each a short walk — so guests arrive from every direction.
