Hopkins Street is a quiet one, tucked between Berwick Street and Wardour Street in Soho. The name traces back to Richard Hopkins, an 18th-century landowner involved in the development of the area. The street itself was never famous. It played its part all the same, home over the years to tradesmen, small workshops and later creative studios.
Today you will find design agencies, independent eateries and a few hidden bars. Kiln, the Michelin-starred Thai restaurant, draws food lovers from across London for its open-fire cooking. Flat White, the cafe that helped define the city's modern coffee scene, is here too. Oxford Circus and Piccadilly Circus are both a short walk away, yet the street stays calm, set back from the crowds.
No major public figures are known to have lived here. Its appeal is simpler than that. A street that gets by on quality rather than fame. Have a look at what has set up shop along it.
