Soho commands elevated venue pricing, underpinned by its central location, cultural edge and enduring popularity with creative industries. Bordered by Oxford Circus, Tottenham Court Road and Piccadilly Circus stations, Soho remains a magnet for media companies, fashion houses and digital startups seeking high-impact, high-energy event settings in the heart of the West End.

The area’s venues range from industrial loft spaces and basement cocktail lounges to eclectic members clubs and cinematic screening rooms. Iconic addresses such as 100 Wardour Street and The Soho Hotel carry premium hire rates, while smaller venues like themed karaoke bars or pop-up galleries offer more flexible pricing for personal celebrations or team socials.

Corporate bookers regularly choose Soho for panel events, product launches and press nights, drawn by its late licensing, central accessibility and distinctive personality. Private clients favour the area’s bold interiors and nightlife backdrop for birthdays, afterparties and immersive experiences. Peak demand typically falls around media festival seasons and year-end, which significantly increases pricing across the board.

Venues here excel in themed fit-outs, in-house AV, and hybrid readiness, with many also offering sustainable add-ons such as vegan menus or reusable décor. Soho’s cultural influence and experiential lean make it a high-value choice for events with personality and punch.

Common event types in Soho

Meeting/Workshop
Soho offers a spectrum of meeting and workshop spaces, from high-spec boardrooms in boutique hotels or private members' clubs with concierge service, to informal setups in co-working lounges. Premium options include screening-style boardrooms in heritage buildings, while more budget-friendly choices include creative meeting rooms or spaces within shared studio floors.

Private Dining
Private dining in Soho ranges from upscale chef’s table experiences in Michelin-listed restaurants to more casual, fixed-menu dining rooms in gastropubs or bistros like The Campari Room at Polpo Soho. At the top end, venues like elegant hotel dining suites or speakeasy-style cocktail lounges with exclusive use command higher prices. Smaller private rooms in independent restaurants provide more affordable, set-menu options for groups.

Team Activity
Team activity venues in Soho include immersive and high-budget experiences like private mixology workshops, themed activities such as Clays, or virtual reality experiences like Pitch Soho. More economical options include creative classes in stripped-down studios and informal pub-based quiz nights or game-hosting lounges available for hourly hire.

Presentation
Presentation spaces in Soho span stylish screening rooms with full AV and plush seating in premium venues like members-only cinemas, to more affordable modern rooms in co-working hubs, such as Huckletree Soho or converted artist spaces. Pricing varies depending on tech setup, capacity and service inclusion.

Wedding
Weddings in Soho tend to reflect the area’s bold, creative character. High-end options include designer hotel ballrooms with bespoke styling and multi-course menus. More affordable celebrations can be held in quirky bars, rooftop terraces or intimate restaurant spaces with character décor and optional DJ setups.

Networking
Networking events in Soho are often hosted in chic cocktail lounges or rooftop bars with skyline views and tailored drinks packages at the higher end. More accessible options include backroom spaces in pubs or private dining areas in restaurants, such as Dear Jackie in Broadwick Soho, that can be hired for evening networking and socialising.

Studio
Studios in Soho range from premium photography or podcasting studios with professional-grade equipment, such as 01zero-one, to smaller creative spaces above retail units or within shared artist buildings. Pricing depends on size, kit availability and the type of project, with flexible rates often available for off-peak or half-day bookings.

Conference
Conference venues in Soho include more expensive options like boutique hotels with integrated AV and all-day catering, or small theatres and private auditoriums with branded setups. Budget-conscious organisers may opt for configurable rooms in business centres, basement studio spaces or private upper-floor rooms in restaurants with presentation capabilities.

Christmas Party
Christmas party venues in Soho vary from exclusive-use cocktail bars or immersive theme spaces with entertainment and catering at the higher end, to more modestly priced private dining rooms in restaurants or festive pub lounges like The Little Violet Door. Rates spike in December, especially for Fridays, weekends and full venue takeovers.

Summer Party
