Soho is one of those parts of London where there’s always something new to discover. Mornings start with coffee on tucked-away corners, afternoons are made for wandering between independent shops, record stores and some of the city’s best places to eat, and by evening, the streets fill with busy pubs, restaurants and plenty of familiar Soho characters.

Whether you’re heading in for a Sunday wander or simply looking for an excuse to rediscover the neighbourhood, we’ve pulled together a few of our favourite spots. From independent shops and quick bites to places made for a long lunch and a very good pint.

And while you’re here, don’t forget to stop by our FINLAY Soho store on Broadwick Street. Pop in for an eye test, discover a new pair of sunglasses or spectacles, or simply try on a few frames with a little help from our team.
