Area

Message from Kate Kerr

Soho, located in the City of Westminster in London, has a rich history dating back to the 16th century when it was developed from farmland by Henry VIII. Originally an area for the aristocracy, Soho transformed into a vibrant entertainment district in the 19th century and later gained notoriety for its sex industry. However, since the 1980s, Soho has undergone significant gentrification and is now known for its upscale restaurants, media offices, and thriving nightlife scene. Today, it's a trendy neighbourhood with a mix of history, culture, and modern flair, attracting visitors from all over the world.
