Ingestre Place is a short street tucked away in Soho, named after Ingestre Hall, the Earl of Shrewsbury's country estate. It dates back to the 18th century, when much of Soho was turning from farmland into one of London's busier quarters. Small as it is, it sits squarely among the area's creative trades.
Old and newer buildings sit together along it, housing a handful of creative studios, media agencies and boutique workspaces. The Photographers' Gallery print sales division is one of the standout names, drawing art lovers and collectors. Then there is Ingestre Place Car Park, which gets used for filming and photo shoots thanks to its plain urban look and its closeness to central Soho.
Oxford Circus and Tottenham Court Road stations are both about five minutes off. No famous historical figures are officially tied to the street itself, and the records are thin there, but its place among Soho's landmarks does the work. Modest in length, it holds its corner of London's creative scene. The places listed on this street below are a good place to start.
