This neon-lit Soho venue is a megastore for the best comedy and fringe shows in town sitting right in the middle of London’s lively and historic West End. Its roots in this theatrical neighbourhood stretch back to 1969, when the Soho Theatre Company was formed at a venue just up the road in Compton Street. After a few moves between different theatres, the company found its home at its current location in 2000. It is a writing theatre and a writers’ development organisation of national significance. With a programme spanning theatre, comedy, cabaret and writers’ events, and home to a lively bar, it is currently one of the most vibrant venues on London’s cultural scene. The purpose-built facility houses the 150-seat Soho Theatre, the 90-seat Soho Upstairs, and the cabaret space, Soho Downstairs and hosts at least six different shows a night. Its excellent location will also put you in good stead to explore this lively part of the city with an abundance of restaurants, pubs and bars.
