Whether you and your team are based in north, east, south or west London, the transport links to Soho and the rest of Central London make it a very appealing choice for many businesses. Even for those further afield, there are excellent national transport routes to London Euston and nearby Paddington, from where it’s a quick tube journey, short cycle or walk.
Often overlooked, an office in Soho is easily commutable to from most locations. The area is served by the Northern, Victoria, Central & Piccadilly lines and from mid-2022 the eagerly awaited Crossrail project will be up and running. Crossrail’s Elizabeth line will allow for 15 minute commutes to Soho from both West & East London.
2. Networking
It’s well known that many major brands opt for a head office location in Central London. A prestigious Central London office address helps to make your company look more established due to the area’s history and reputation in commerce.
Many major fashion brands congregate around Oxford Circus, global tech brands can be found near Tottenham Court Road and leading media agencies are dotted all over Soho and nearby Fitzrovia. It should be no surprise then, that there is an abundance of networking opportunities and events for businesses located in the area.
3. Food
If you’re a foodie, the abundance of food options in Soho make it an ideal place to choose your new office space. You’ll never again run out of new options for your team lunches and dinners. Chinatown is right on your doorstep if you’re looking for authentic Chinese cuisine near the office. Greek Street is around the corner from Tottenham Court Road, notorious for its diverse range of culinary options, as well as many Japanese & Korean restaurants.
If you’re looking for something simpler and more affordable – there are 100s of fast food restaurants dotted around the Soho area. You don’t even need to leave your Soho office to eat well, delivery services operate in the area (Deliveroo, Uber Eats, Just Eat etc.) so you can simply order to the office and carry on with your work.
4. Entertainment
After a long week at work, nothing beats unwinding and bonding with your team over a few drinks. There are countless pubs and bars in the Soho area, including a few Wetherspoons and the odd roof terrace, so you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to Friday drinks.
Depending on your type of business, client entertainment may be an important consideration when you’re considering office space. If you want to impress clients, or even treat your team to a more official celebratory session, you have Covent Garden and Leicester Square right on your doorstep. There you’ll be able to choose from live comedy, theatres, cinemas, casinos and more. The choice is yours.

For avid shoppers, the countless shops at Oxford Circus, Regent Street and Carnaby Street make a Soho office space a shopper’s paradise. You’re also just a short journey away from the more upmarket shopping areas of Sloane Square and South Kensington.
