Foubert’s Place is a small yet significant street tucked between Carnaby Street and Regent Street in Soho, London. Named after Major Foubert, a French Huguenot who opened a riding academy here in the late 1600s, the street carries a slice of historical character that links back to the era of cavalry and courtly training. While the riding school has long gone, the street has evolved into a stylish path lined with modern retail and dining.
Today, Foubert’s Place reflects the fashion-forward spirit of central London. It connects directly to the buzz of Carnaby, yet feels slightly more relaxed. Shops like size?—a well-known trainer store—have found a home here, attracting sneaker lovers from across the city. Beyond retail, the area also offers quirky cafés and trendy eateries, popular with locals and tourists alike. Oxford Circus Tube station is just a short walk away, making it very accessible by public transport.
Foubert’s Place may be compact, but it carries cultural weight through its name, history, and connection to one of the most walked quarters of the West End.
