Nestled in the heart of London, Soho is a bustling neighbourhood with a vibrant dining scene that offers a diverse range of restaurants, pubs, bars, and shopping experiences. To help you explore this iconic neighbourhood, we have created an insider’s guide on how to enjoy 24 hours in Soho, from breakfast to late-night drinks.
Morning Delights: Starting Your Day in Soho
Start your day at 10 am with a visit to The Breakfast Club, a small yet popular cafe that serves a legendary Full English Breakfast, also known as ‘The Full Monty.’ Alternatively, if you’re looking for a coffee fix, head to Flat White, a local favourite that serves antipodean-style coffee and banana bread.
At 11 am, you can indulge in the iconic Bacon Naan Roll with bottomless Masala Chai at Dishoom Carnaby or enjoy a hearty Shakshuka or Fatteh with freshly baked pita bread at Imad’s Syrian Kitchen. If you have a sweet tooth, buns from home and Crumbs & Dollies are two great options for freshly baked pastries and cupcakes.
Afternoon Adventures: Shopping and Dining in Soho’s Heart
If you’re in the mood for some shopping, head to stores like GANNI and Reckless Records before stopping at Bar Kroketa, Dehesa, Maresco, or Tapas Brindisa for some of the best Spanish tapas in town. You can also visit Kiln for open-fire rural Thai cooking or Ramo Ramen for a Filipino-Japanese ramen experience.
At 4 pm, head to Blue Posts on Rupert Street for a pint of British craft beer or venture upstairs to The Mulwray, a hidden wine bar that specializes in fine and natural wines from around the world.
Evening Escapades: Experiencing Soho’s Finest Restaurants
For dinner, you can try Kolamba for Sri Lankan-style home cooking or Bebe Bob for a luxurious rotisserie experience that includes chicken, caviar, and champagne. Alternatively, Mountain is a Michelin-starred restaurant that offers a showstopping menu, including red prawns with house-made stracciatella and a whole lobster caldereta.
If you’re looking for a sit-down experience, Rita’s and Donia are two great options that offer American Modern dining and contemporary Filipino cuisine, respectively.
