Soho Beats & Eats 2023

Brought to you by

Soho requires very little introduction to both locals and visitors, mainly because most know it as one of London’s most exciting corners. It’s the epicentre of eating, drinking and entertaining in the capital – one square mile packed with creative businesses, independent and iconic restaurants, street-food spots, cafés, bars, clubs, traditional London pubs and a thriving LGBTQ+ scene. It’s probably one of the few places where you can brunch, lunch, theatre, drink and then dance the night away – all within a ten-minute walk.

Although you’ll find a Soho in New York, Hong Kong, Malaga and Buenos Aires, it's the one in London that coined the name first. Originally an area of farmland, it was around the 19th century that the theatres, drinking dens and music halls moved into Soho, and it made a name for itself as an area marked by the colourful, debaucherous and flamboyant facets of life. To this day, it has remained as London’s beating pulse.

The food scene, an integral component of this pulse, spans some of Soho’s iconic roads like Beak Street, Brewer Street, Broadwick Street, Berwick Street, Rupert Street and Old Compton Street. It’s a somewhat hedonistic place for filling your stomach, as there are few cravings you cannot satiate in a nook of Soho. The diversity of the area means it’s a hub of international restaurants, including Kricket with its iconic plates of Indian fried chicken, Kiln with its lip-smacking selection of Thai-inspired sharing plates, The Duck and Rice with its legendary Cantonese roast duck, and Söderberg with its boxes of plump cardamom Swedish buns. There are also many exciting new additions to the neighbourhood, like Maresco serving up Spanish dishes using the best Scottish produce, alongside trusty classics like The Palomar, where you can discover the flavour-packed food of modern Jerusalem. By day Soho is the perfect spot to grab a coffee or brunch with friends, with spots like Flat White, and by night you can turn up the heat with elegant cocktails in drinking dens like SOMA and Hovarda.

And now, this summer, you can get a taste of Soho’s eating and drinking scene at Beats & Eats. It’s an immersive foodie experience from 16-30 June, highlighting all the F&B tenants in the area. Discover a line-up of exciting deals, promotions and special menus throughout the two weeks, including some highlights from the event below.
