Soho
Our guides covering Soho, London.
Soho is the opposite of Mayfair and all the better for it: a dense, electric square of theatres, record shops, late bars and restaurants stacked three storeys high. It is where London comes to misbehave a little, and where some of the city's best cooking and most characterful drinking hides behind unremarkable doors.
Our Soho guides map the good stuff, from the cocktail bars and old institutions to the restaurants worth the squeeze and the spots that come alive after midnight. Chosen on merit, for a first drink, a long dinner or a night that runs late.
