Spoiled for Choice in Soho
One of the nice things about London is that the city is essentially a collection of villages, each with its own personality. Places like Crouch End, Notting Hill, Southwark, Highgate Village, Chelsea and Shoreditch all have their own styles and temperaments.
A lively Soho street
Even if you’ve lived here for years, there are always new pockets of life to discover, and it’s great to trek to the far corners of London to explore new neighbourhoods and local cultures.
But sometimes you want to feel like you’re in a city instead of a village. And that’s when you head for Soho.
Soho is a conglomeration of all that’s strange and good about city life, and it’s one of the few places where you can eat, drink and be merry at any time of the day or night.
You’ve got a plethora of bars, restaurants, shops and clubs all clustered together in the streets surrounding Soho Square. It feels like you could find just about anything here, including garlic beer, Roman style pizza sliced with scissors, Algerian coffee beans, vegetarian food served by Hare Krishnas or honey rum from the Canary Islands.
With so much on offer, Soho is all about options. But sometimes it can be hard to make a choice, especially when you’re trying to decide where to eat. So your best bet is to try a little of everything.
Tranquillity in Soho Square
That’s why the Soho Street Food deal is perfect. You can sample dishes at eight different establishments – from coffee and risotto balls to meringues and cupcakes. It’s like a pub crawl, but with food instead of beer.
Grab a voucher and stop off at each of the venues to collect a tasty treat. If by some miracle you are still hungry after all eight dishes, you might want to check out the Soho FoodLovers Market for more yummy eats.
When you’ve had your fill, you can unwind in Soho Square before heading on to one of Soho’s many bars, cafes or clubs to continue the party.
All this delectable dining will benefit more than just your taste buds, as £5 of the voucher cost goes straight to Cancer Research UK. So you’ll be helping others while you help yourself to some tasty eats in the most exciting part of the capital.
