“The energetic streets of Soho, in the West End, feature a variety of dining, nightlife, and shopping options. Dean, Frith, Beak, and Old Compton streets are the epicentre of activity day and night, and long-running Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club is also here. Theatre-goers head to Shaftesbury Avenue, while shoppers bustle around Carnaby, Oxford and Regent streets and the iconic Liberty’s department store. Google”
“Diverse, fun-loving and never quiet, Soho attracts a wide mix of people. Its history, venues and atmosphere make it a must-see for tourists and Londoners alike.
Soho is a great place to find live entertainment, interesting food and pulsing nightlife. Browse the boutique shops, relax in Soho Square, or treat yourself to a West End show, a meal and a delicious cocktail.
Soho is known for its lively and, at times, risqu vibes. It’s also been at the centre of London’s LGBT+ community for decades with buzzing gay and lesbian bars around Old Compton Street, plus a hotbed of fashion and music — most notably in Carnaby, which led the way in the Swinging Sixties.
Where is Soho?
Soho is situated in the heart of London’s West End. The area covers roughly one square mile (2.6 square kilometres), so it’s easy to explore on foot.” – https://www.visitlondon.com/things-to-do/london-areas/soho
“What’s the deal with Soho?
London’s Soho has been showing us a good time for centuries. Its messy grid of streets and narrow alleyways is buzzy, grubby, swanky and sexy in equal parts. Dig deep enough and you’ll find that a bunch of famous faces, including Mozart, Karl Marx and the Sex Pistols, have called it home over the years. You’ll find remnants of Soho’s history as a red-light district in its handful of sex shops, strip clubs and sex-positive bars remaining from its days as London’s main red-light district.
Nowhere in London has suffered like Soho has during the pandemic, with its independent businesses some of the hardest hit. But to counteract the area’s misfortunes, the roads have been pedestrianised and tables and chairs have been added. Soho may no longer be the den of disrepute it was in the ’70s and ’80s, but its bohemian spirit is alive and well as Londoners spill out into the streets in support of the area’s long-standing and legendary restaurants and bars, making up (for once) for the absence of tourists. It’s a great time to head down and do some people watching from a pavement spot — or even with a tinny in hand in Soho Square.” – https://www.timeout.com/london/things-to-do/london-soho-area-guide
