Soho hotels

Soho is famous for its mix of culture, nightlife and creativity. Located in the heart of the West End, it’s known for its vibrant LGBTQ+ scene, live music venues and legendary theatre district. It’s also a foodie's dream, offering everything from trendy coffee shops and international cuisine to late-night bites. With its lively streets, bohemian spirit and artistic legacy (think the Rolling Stones, The Beatles, and more), Soho is often seen as the cultural heartbeat of London. 

What makes Soho truly special is its diversity — in people, places and experiences. It's one of the most dynamic areas in London, where every street has its own personality. You’ll find historic pubs rubbing shoulders with jazz clubs, boutique shops and street art-covered alleys. It’s also a melting pot of cultures and communities, with influences from around the world visible in its food, fashion and music scenes.  

Old Compton Street is probably the most iconic. It’s long been the heart of Soho’s LGBTQ+ community and is known for its welcoming vibe, pavement cafés, and buzzing bars. It’s a go-to spot for both day and night, perfect for people-watching or soaking up the area’s energetic spirit. Just around the corner, you’ll also find Carnaby Street, another famous spot historically linked to the 1960s fashion and music revolution. 

People flock to Soho for all kinds of reasons — to see a West End show, enjoy a night out, explore independent shops or just soak up the atmosphere. It’s a hotspot for creatives, tourists and locals alike. Whether you're after rooftop cocktails, street food, live jazz, drag shows or just a good wander, Soho offers an experience that’s energetic, inclusive and completely unique. 

There’s plenty to explore in Soho! Check out Soho Square Gardens, a peaceful spot surrounded by historic buildings. Visit Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club for world-class live music or stroll through Carnaby Street for quirky fashion and boutique shopping. Pop into Berwick Street Market for delicious street food or discover some of the area’s hidden gems like independent galleries and record shops. The area is also full of cultural landmarks, like the Photographers' Gallery and old-school cinemas.  

For a true taste of Soho, wander along Carnaby Street for fashion and heritage, Berwick Street for markets and music history and Dean Street for great restaurants. Greek Street is full of quirky restaurants and atmospheric pubs, while Old Compton Street is ideal for vibrant nightlife. The beauty of Soho is that it’s compact — just exploring aimlessly often leads to great discoveries. 

Soho doesn’t have its own named tube station, but it’s surrounded by several stations. Tottenham Court Road, Oxford Circus, Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square stations all border the area, making it super easy to reach by London Underground. Depending on where you’re heading within Soho, you’re never more than a few minutes' walk from one of these major stops. 

There are lots of free things to enjoy in Soho! Take a relaxing break in Soho Square Gardens, browse the Berwick Street Market, or admire the ever-changing street art and architecture. You can also explore Carnaby Street’s unique atmosphere, window shop in quirky boutiques or enjoy live street performances, especially in the evenings. Photography lovers will enjoy the area’s visual mix of old and new, and you can always pop into free-entry galleries like the Photographers’ Gallery.

In 2020 we launched Premier Inn CleanProtect™, our rigorous, daily cleaning method that’s used throughout our UK & Ireland hotels. Developed in partnership with Diversey, a global leader in cleaning and hygiene products for the healthcare and hospitality industries, our promise seeks to give you extra peace of mind so you can always book and stay with confidence.

Check-in - minimising contact at reception and providing hand sanitiser in most public areas for peace of mind.
