Foubert's Place is a short street running between Carnaby Street and Regent Street in Soho. It takes its name from Major Foubert, a French Huguenot who opened a riding academy here in the late 1600s. The riding school is long gone, but the name stuck, and the street has turned into a tidy run of retail and dining.
It connects straight into the buzz of Carnaby, though it feels a touch more relaxed. The trainer shop size? has a home here and pulls in sneaker hunters from across the city. There are a few quirky cafes and eateries too, busy with locals and tourists alike. Oxford Circus is a short walk away, so it is easy enough to reach.
Small as it is, Foubert's Place carries some weight through its name and its place in one of the most walked quarters of the West End. Worth a look at the businesses that have set up along here.
