St Anne's Court is a short pedestrian street tucked away in Soho, with roots back in the 17th century. It is named after St Anne's Church, built nearby in 1686, from a time when this part of the city was turning fashionable. Modest as it is, the court has played a quiet, steady part in how Soho's creative side took shape.
In the 1960s and 70s it became known for its tie to London's music scene through Trident Studios, based at 17 St Anne's Court. The Beatles, Queen and David Bowie all stepped through its doors. The street still leans creative today, home to media companies and boutique agencies that carry that same character.
Along it you'll find a mix of small businesses, independent cafes and creative workspaces. Not much in the way of big-name shops, but a strong sense of itself and its history. Oxford Circus and Tottenham Court Road stations are both a short walk off, so it stays well connected while keeping a quieter profile than its neighbours. The places listed on this street below are a good place to start.
