Leafy Soho Square is a one minute walk and the city's business district is within easy reach."},{"type":"link","content":"https://www.firmdalehotels.com/hotels/london/the-soho-hotel/"},{"type":"text","content":"A few other hotels that you might also consider are:\n\n* Ham Yard Hotel : Much like Soho Hotel, this one is another Firmdale Hotel that oozes contemporary class. The group's co-owner Kit Kemp does a trademark line in bold colour, which is in evidence throughout this block of hotel apartments and boutiques. The central courtyard is well-populated with diners and drinkers on warm days, and although it's a cavernous endeavour that could feel a little corporate, touches like an on-site library, and cinema/theater and even a bowling alley make the whole thing far more loose-collared. You can also go ham when it comes to partying, as there's a 24-hour front desk.\n\n* SoHostel: Straight off the bat: it's not all about fancy-high hotels in Soho. SoHostel is perfect for those who aren't bothered about frills. You'll find dorm rooms, twins and doubles, plus a roof terrace and guest-only bar and roof garden, free wi-fi and breakfast (at a small extra charge). But really, it's the location that's the real sell: you're right in the thick of it, meaning that you could spend days exploring central London from your base here on Dean Street and never have to set foot on – or have to pay for - public transport. There's a 24-hour front desk, too, so no worrying about not having a bed for the night, and an on-site bar to chill out from between stints around soho."}]},{"address":"Dean Street","location":{"longitudeDelta":0.14321712068773834,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":51.51344201997391,"longitude":-0.132358999999993},"media":[{"type":"text","content":"# Dean Street Townhouse"},{"metadata":{"width":900,"height":600},"type":"img","version":1,"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2Fyppg0LuLImQiIdNZbe8A%2Fdean-street-townhouse.jpg?alt=media&token=5b6e75eb-342e-4aee-a60c-cc490a67d73e"},{"metadata":{"width":768,"height":768},"type":"img","version":1,"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2Fyppg0LuLImQiIdNZbe8A%2FCopyright-Soho-House-DS-Townhouse-Dining-Room-201811-SB-LR-001.jpg?alt=media&token=e46ee59a-b0e9-469b-b280-daf2eaa72bd5"},{"type":"text","content":"This restaurant next to Soho House is open to the public for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner.

Original plans for the new site were for a striking, angular structure with giant floor-to-ceiling lightwells grasping for the sky. After a fiscal wake-up call (the budget was cut nearly in half to £9 million), the Irish architects O'Donnell+Tuomey returned with a handsome refit and recladding of an old brick building, plus what amounts to an extravagant loft conversion, adding two whole storeys and just one thin sliver of those firmament-reaching windows. What hasn't been lost is any of the interior space. The upper floors boast two airy new galleries, while a bookshop, print sales room and café have been dug from the ground floor and basement levels. In fact, the climb-down from landmark building to tasteful conversion is no great loss, given the building's move to an unprepossessing corner plot in a back alley south of Oxford Street. The Photographers' Gallery has kept faith in its location, however tricky and inhospitable their new plot on the vaguely insalubrious Ramilies Street might seem. Indeed, the new site maintains the gallery's roots in Soho (just) and will hopefully come to be as embedded here as it was in its former location on Great Newport Street, which, despite its inelegant, warren-like unsuitability for showing great photography, will also live long in the memory."},{"metadata":{"width":576,"height":1024},"type":"video","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2Fyppg0LuLImQiIdNZbe8A%2FSnaptik_7061938172866956550_kirsty.mp4?alt=media&token=6c7302fc-e1d0-4f32-a539-0612879c1f3a"}]},{"address":"Carnaby Street","location":{"longitudeDelta":0.14321712068773834,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":51.513180119973704,"longitude":-0.1388606000000081},"media":[{"type":"text","content":"# Carnaby Street"},{"metadata":{"width":530,"height":630},"type":"img","version":1,"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2Fyppg0LuLImQiIdNZbe8A%2Fb6656bb6750fc6fa91557958f25d0d67.jpg?alt=media&token=ced4597e-25cd-4740-b914-7ce312ec1760"},{"type":"text","content":"This is one of the best places for shopping in London.
