History
Soho evolved from a medieval suburb into a 19th‑century entertainment district; in the 20th century it became a crucible for jazz, rock and pop scenes with clubs, studios and shops clustered in tight streets.
Conservation
High foot traffic strains narrow historic streets—support independent venues, avoid blocking doorways, and keep noise to a respectful level to help preserve Soho’s cultural character.
