Ramillies Street

Ramillies Street in Soho London is a small but historic stretch tucked behind Oxford Street. The street gets its name from the Battle of Ramillies, a 1706 military victory under the Duke of Marlborough during the War of the Spanish Succession. This nod to military triumph gave the street a bold identity from the very start.

Positioned just a minute’s walk from Oxford Circus Underground Station, Ramillies Street is well connected and easy to reach on foot. While relatively short, it has become known for its creative and visual influence. The Photographers’ Gallery, a leading institution in British photography, is one of the most popular spots on the street and brings a steady flow of visitors, students, and art lovers to the area. Aside from this, the street is mainly lined with commercial spaces and creative workspaces, many of which support the fashion and media industries that thrive in Soho.

While no famous historical figures are directly linked to living on the street, its influence is felt through the lens of art and culture that surround it today.

Thanks to its central location, artistic focus, and strong connections to public transport, Ramillies Street remains an important piece of Soho’s creative identity.
