Carlisle Street sits in central Soho, a short street with roots going back to the 18th century. It takes its name from the Earls of Carlisle, the noble family who once held estates here. Over the years it shifted from homes to creative firms and small boutique businesses.
It's a calm contrast to the noise of Oxford Street and Tottenham Court Road, both within a five-minute walk. Transport is easy: Tottenham Court Road Station covers the Central and Northern lines plus the Elizabeth line. Among the buildings, the Soho Screening Rooms is a discreet spot popular with film professionals, and The Newman Arms, a traditional pub just around the corner, pulls in locals and curious visitors alike.
No major historic figure is known to have lived here, and the street doesn't pretend otherwise. Its quiet charm and its ties to the wider Soho creative scene have kept it a steady draw for professionals and small businesses. Worth a wander past the handful of places that call it home.
