Why Soho is a Great Place to Work and Play

Diverse, fun-loving and full of life, Soho is deservedly known as one of the best places to socialise in London. But there’s a lot more to this maze of streets in the heart of the West End’s nightlife scene than just pubs and restaurants.

If you’re on the lookout for Soho offices for your team, the area offers a wide choice of serviced office space in both new builds and listed buildings, all within easy reach of fantastic local amenities. Soho itself covers roughly just one square mile, delivering the walkability many modern commuters crave. And with the sheer number of pubs, restaurants, cocktail bars and shops, you won’t find it a struggle getting employees commuting to the office, making Soho offices a powerful employee retention and attraction tool.

Things To Do In Soho 

Transport links and local amenities have become an increasingly important factor when choosing your office location, particularly when trying to attract remote and hybrid workers back into the office. Serviced offices in Soho benefit from both, with a huge number of attractions packed into a small area for team building, after-hours sojourns and out-of-office meetings.

Carnaby Street

The world-famous Carnaby Street, synonymous with the swinging sixties, is now a great shopping spot, known for its independent stores as well as its international brands. Carnaby Street is part of a larger pedestrianised shopping and dining area called Carnaby, which has 14 streets, all brimming with life and home to more than 60 restaurants, bars and cafes — not to mention 100 international and British heritage brands.

Berwick Street Market

Berwick Street is home to some of London’s most interesting boutiques — and one of London’s oldest markets. Berwick Street Market is a bustling street food destination that’s open Monday to Saturday, making it the perfect spot to grab a delicious lunch any day of the week.

Theatres

Whether you’re a fan of big-budget musicals, classic plays or stand-up comedy, it’s all within easy reach of your Soho office. Located in the heart of theatreland, the choice is yours when it comes to after-work entertainment.

Best places for team building

There’s no better way to embed those new hires or reward the team for a job well done than with an office outing to one of Soho’s many attractions.

Cahoots

It doesn’t get much more unique than a 1940s-themed cocktail bar set in an abandoned train station. With live entertainment seven days a week and regular swing dancing, Cahoots allows you to step back in time and dance the night away.

Swingers Crazy Golf

A round of 18 in the pouring rain is probably not your team’s idea of a good time. Instead, head to Swingers, where 1920s British seaside-themed indoor crazy golf awaits. Here, the sun is always shining and the putting is accompanied by delicious street food and enticing cocktails.

Best places for out-of-office meetings

If you want to impress clients and new hires or just fancy a change of scenery, serviced offices in Soho are surrounded by all sorts of bars and restaurants, from the quirky to the traditional and the opulent to the down-to-earth.

Soho Residence

Spread across three floors, Soho Residence on Wardour Street is home to a botanical cocktail bar, elegant gin parlour and a basement festival club where DJs play tunes until the early hours. For a guaranteed great night out with minimal stress, consider booking a private space for you and your team.

Yauatcha Soho

If you like to treat your clients to a spot of dim sum, the Michelin-starred Yauatcha Soho is not to be missed. It serves innovative Cantonese delights all day that you can wash down with more than 60 different teas. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is laid-back and the impressions made on your clients will be excellent.

Best places for wellbeing

During the pandemic, many workers got used to getting out, running errands and working out during the working day — in a trend set to continue. People want to be able to walk to a park or go to the gym at lunchtime, and Soho offices can make that possible.

Soho Square

One of the best things about London is that no matter how central you are, there’s always a quiet space nearby to kick back and take five. Soho Square, with its laidback and peaceful vibe, is the perfect place to grab a coffee and enjoy the relative claim in the heart of Soho.

Green Park

Green Park is a peaceful triangle of grassland and mature trees just 1km from Soho. Perfect for a lunchtime jog or walking meeting, this tranquil park offers a quiet retreat from the city, and it’s right next to Buckingham Palace.

Soho gyms

As well as working hard in your Soho office, you can also work up a sweat in one of the many nearby gyms. Third Space boasts a specialist combat area, a hypoxic chamber and purpose-built studios for hot yoga, barre and Pilates classes. Meanwhile, Marshall Street Spa and Leisure Centre has a beautiful 1930s-style pool with original marble floor, with everything from yoga to a luxurious spa, all housed within an art-deco building.
