London United Kingdom
Location

Soho is a vibrant district nestled in the heart of London's West End. It doesn't have precise, fixed borders, but it's generally considered to be the area enclosed by Oxford Street to the north, Regent Street to the west, Shaftesbury Avenue to the south, and Charing Cross Road to the east.   Its central location makes it incredibly accessible. The closest Underground stations include Piccadilly Circus (Piccadilly and Bakerloo lines), Leicester Square (Northern and Piccadilly lines), Tottenham Court Road (Central, Northern, and Elizabeth lines), and Oxford Circus (Bakerloo, Central, and Victoria lines), all within easy walking distance.   Being in the heart of the West End, Soho is surrounded by a plethora of attractions. You'll find yourself steps away from the major theatres of Shaftesbury Avenue. The bright lights and bustling atmosphere of Piccadilly Circus are right on its western edge. To the south lies Chinatown, offering a distinct cultural experience. A short walk east brings you to the vibrant Covent Garden. The shopping meccas of Oxford Street and Regent Street frame its northern and western sides, respectively. Soho's location makes it a perfect base for exploring many of London's most famous sights and entertainment options.
