Soho Square

Soho Square, nestled in the heart of Soho London, is a historic public square that dates back to the late 17th century. First laid out in 1681, it was originally known as King’s Square, named in honour of King Charles II, whose statue still stands proudly at its centre. Over time, the name shifted as locals simply referred to it by the surrounding area — Soho.

Known for its peaceful garden and classic Georgian architecture, Soho Square offers a brief escape from the fast pace of central London. The area has long attracted creative minds, with famous figures like Karl Marx having lived nearby. The square also once housed the offices of Paul McCartney’s MPL Communications, adding a musical note to its story.

Today, Soho Square is home to a mix of elegant offices, cultural institutions, and a few select businesses. Notably, the British Board of Film Classification is based here, as well as some well-regarded production houses. While not packed with shops, the area’s character is shaped by its blend of history, media, and green space.

Public transport is within easy reach — Tottenham Court Road and Oxford Circus stations are both just a few minutes’ walk away, connecting visitors to the wider city with ease.
