Kingly Street

Kingly Street in Soho London carries with it a name that speaks to royal connections, believed to be linked to King Henry VIII, who once owned land in this part of the city. Tucked just behind the hustle of Regent Street, Kingly Street offers a quieter lane with a long history stretching back to the 17th century. Over the years, it has evolved from a residential area into a modern passage filled with creative energy and well-designed spaces.

The street is known for its mix of independent shops, modern dining spots, and a touch of nightlife. One notable venue is The Courthouse Hotel’s bar, built within a former magistrates’ court where famous names like John Lennon once stood. Another is the well-loved Pizza Pilgrims, attracting both locals and visitors with its Neapolitan flavours.

Kingly Street is just a few minutes’ walk from Oxford Circus Station, making it easy to reach from across London. Though small in size, the street’s charm lies in its balance between old and new, a place where creativity meets tradition.
