More About Soho
Soho is a small multicultural area in the West End of London, which is home to a wide selection of bars and clubs. As a result, Soho hotels are very popular with visitors looking to experience the best London nightlife.
What's Good About Soho?
A vibrant nightspot, the area is regarded as one of the coolest in the city, with various media organisations basing themselves there and frequenting the surrounding drinking establishments. Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club continues to enjoy iconic status despite the death of its eponymous founder in 1996, while Chinatown is a vibrant and entertaining corner of London. The area also enjoys a place in London's fashion history, with Carnaby Street one of the most fashionable roads you could find in the 1960s.
In recent times, Soho has managed to shake off its past image as a somewhat seedy area of the city, and whilst it still retains some of the more risqué establishments it is now a much more welcoming place to visit and enjoy a stay in a Soho hotel.
The Birth of the Television in Soho
Today, 22 Frith Street is occupied by Bar Italia. While this is an excellent haunt in its own right, it is the blue plaque on the wall that reveals the most noteworthy thing about this building. In 1926, inventor John Logie Baird first demonstrated his television in the room above the bar area. One of the most important inventions in cultural history was born.
Chinatown
London's first Chinese immigrants stayed in Limehouse near the Thames and worked in the shipping trade. However, after heavy bombing during the war and a gradual decline in the shipping industry, they needed a new home. With Chinese food growing ever more popular, many chose to head for the West End to set up a restaurant. By the 1960s, Soho was indisputably the home of London's Chinese community
Getting to Soho
To get closest to the heart of Soho, the quickest way is to take the tube. The closest stations are Tottenham Court Road on the Northern and Central Line, and Leicester Square on the Northern and Piccadilly Line. From here, it is only a short walk into central Soho. If you are visiting Soho for the evening and staying elsewhere in London, be aware that the last tube services leave at around half past midnight.
Hotels in Soho
When it comes to hotels, Soho is king of the boutique, with a huge variety of different, interesting options available. The best of the bunch include Hazlitts, Sanderson Hotel, The Rathbone and Sanctum Soho.
Soho Pubs and Bars
Clearly, as somewhere with a reputation for nightlife, Soho is blessed with a wide variety of fantastic venues to enjoy a drink. Bar Rumba is the place to go if you are looking for creative cocktails and shooters, while a range of music tempts you towards the dance floor.
Ain't Nothin' But is a wonderful blues bar, with live blues music featuring every night. Visitors can enjoy the show until 1am during the week, and 2:30am on Friday and Saturday. Of course, for all the choice available, some people will always prefer a nice, quiet, traditional pub for a chat and a pint. If this is you, then The Angel is Soho's best offering.
Soho Restaurants
Once again, any Soho visitor will be able to choose from a fine array of eateries to settle down in for a sumptuous evening feast. Soho is home to one of London's finest seafood restaurants, Wright Brothers, most notable for its oyster dishes. For a tasty Thai banquet, try Patara, while Criterion serves up fabulous modern European dishes presented with flair and elegance.
Soho Parking
There are a few parking options available for anyone arriving in Soho by car, including Tottenham Court Road (postcode WC1B 3AJ) and Brewer Street (W1F 0LA). Sanderson Hotel (W1T 3NG) also has parking available on site.
