Walker's Court

Walker’s Court in Soho, London is a narrow, atmospheric passage tucked between Brewer Street and Peter Street. First laid out in the 18th century, it was named after a local landowner or developer, most likely someone with the surname Walker—common practice for naming streets at the time. The street has kept its original charm with its cobbled path and overhanging bridges, making it one of Soho’s most distinctive spots.

Historically, Walker’s Court became known in the mid-20th century for its association with Soho’s nightlife. It housed the iconic Raymond Revuebar, a members-only club that played a significant role in shaping the area’s reputation for adult entertainment. Though much has changed, the street still whispers stories of a bolder past.

Today, this short cut-through is home to a small number of shops and creative businesses. One standout is The Box Soho, an exclusive performance venue known for its bold shows and celebrity visitors. The street also benefits from its central location—just a 4-minute walk from Piccadilly Circus Station and only slightly further from Oxford Circus and Leicester Square. Its tucked-away charm contrasts with the bustling streets nearby, making it a quiet surprise in the heart of the city.

Walker’s Court remains a piece of old Soho—compact, full of character, and always just slightly off the radar.
