Aside from its culinary excellence, the history here is rich and far reaching and the culture dynamic and diverse.

Clarendon’s top tips for living in Soho
With several narrow streets, forgotten lanes and hidden alleyways, this neighbourhood is compact and mysterious – offering plenty to be explored on foot for residents of corporate accommodation in Soho. Being so close to many of the city’s most popular areas though, it’s worth making the most of all the self-service bikes available and traversing the inner city on wheels. During the week, for quick access to the City, you can walk to Oxford Circus, where you can pick up the Central Line and get to Bank in under ten minutes. As there are so many well-loved eateries in the vicinity, you’ll never be short of dinner options but many of the most popular are worth booking in advance to avoid the queues.
Clarendon’s guide to living in Soho
Entertainment is very easy to come by in this jam-packed neighbourhood, particularly if you’re a fan of art house cinema, which there is plenty of. Musicals, plays and comedy can all be found at the various theatres on Shaftesbury Avenue, which welcome thousands of visitors each year – many of whom shop beforehand in quirky Carnaby or along Regent and Oxford Streets.
Thanks to its open-mindedness and creativity, Soho is home to and a champion of London’s thriving LGBT culture and each year plays host to the world-famous London Pride parade. This diversity and acceptance is what makes Soho such a fantastic area for long term stays and relocations.
For a mixture of live music, great food and an even better atmosphere, Brasserie Zedel is an absolute must. Tucked into one of the back streets behind Piccadilly Circus, walk down its brass-lined stairs to discover an Art Deco Parisian cafe that you’ll want to visit again and again. With a cavernous marble dining room and a low lit cabaret bar, it’ll transport you back to the 1920s in an instant.
If it’s fresh air you’re after, St James’ Park is just next door and ideal for running, walking and cycling. Soho Square Gardens also offers a pretty corner for reading, people watching or taking an al fresco lunch break.
There’s enough going on in this edgy and artistic part of time to ensure residents of long stay serviced apartments in Soho are occupied all year round.
