Soho makes up the heart and soul of London

Soho is bordered by Oxford Street, Regent Street, Coventry Street and Charing Cross Road. Touted as the liveliest square mile in London, Soho had a bit of a sleazy image in the late 20th century as a centre of sex, taboo and debauchery. Since this time Soho has shed its old image like a butterfly shedding its flaky brown cocoon.

There about 5000 permanent residents in Soho, mixing with media workers, artists, writers, actors and tailors from different backgrounds and cultures. Soho also has a late night atmosphere that rivals New York, when the late night cafes and coffee bars really come into their own whilst the rest of London is asleep.

A favourite hang out of London’s fashionable bohemian scene, regulars are the likes of Rhys Ifans, Kate Moss and the most talented Fleet Street editors, hacks and PR guru’s.  Although some would argue that the original characters such as the Dylan Thomas’s or Jeffrey Bernard’s have long since passed, Soho retains a constantly replenished sense of life that stays true to its legacy but stops it from falling into just legend.
