Property for sale or rent in Soho W1
You’d be hard put to find such a small area (around one square mile) with such a high concentration of activity, not to mention advantages to buying or renting anywhere else in the UK, let alone London. Yet despite (or maybe because of) this, Soho still has the feel of a village about it.
Soho Square was originally a hunting lodge, and it’s believed that the word ‘Soho’ actually derives from an old hunting call. These days, of course, Soho is a happy hunting ground for anyone looking for high or low culture and all things in-between.
Soho is home to some of the capital’s finest restaurants and clubs, including the Groucho and Ronnie Scott’s, along with bars, boutiques, cinemas and markets galore. Not forgetting Chinatown, thriving in its South-Eastern corner.
Once home to successive waves of immigrants, Soho later became a favourite haunt of writers, musicians and artists, and still has a bohemian feel to it today. There’s also a thriving gay scene. Notable local residents have included Mozart, Canaletto and Karl Marx and, appropriately enough in such a bohemian area, Casanova.
