🎉 The 50th Soho Village Fête is today — 1970s theme 🕺🪩 and proper community spirit.
It’s bringing together residents from #Soho, #CoventGarden, #Bloomsbury, #Fitzrovia, #Camden & #Holborn 🏘️
We’re also here to support @SohoSociety, who lost £27k trying to stop something that should never have happened.
A distillery was approved in a beautiful Georgian building — one that never even had planning permission to be a gym, nor a distillery 😱
The Planning Inspector ruled the use was unlawful, noting it had a shared residential staircase and garden.
@SohoSociety weren’t just defending planning policy —
they were standing up for residents and their homes.
And maybe — just maybe — the people in that house will get their home and garden back.
If you care about living in Soho:
👉 support the fête
👉 join the Society
👉 stand up for the people behind the front doors
📸 Come down, dress up, and show your support!

Come on Councillors, what can we do about this,
I got no sense of any councillor championing any #Soho issues
@VoteTimBarnes more on you as you live in Soho but you just tend to agree with me wholeheartedly but you never do anything, I’m not being rude I’m just being honest.

I mentioned this to @VoteTimBarnes last week - after what looked like an altercation (still waiting for a response)...
Just reported to police 2 insanely fast, loud motorbikes tore up Great Pulteney St from Beak St 10:30pm. People leaned out of windows. They flew down Brewer St — could’ve killed someone.
@jpdsoho — part of the @BarItaliaSoho crowd?

17 years ago. Just a normal evening with friends — talking nonsense, talking sense. Laughing, overthinking, surviving. Apparently that’s middle class? Still talk like this now. Hilarious. And kind of poignant. 🎥 youtu.be/xPTiDNzUSik #SohoHousing #SohoLife #RealConversation

Today marks 20 years since the 7/7 London bombings.
We remember the 52 lives lost that day, the 770 injured, and the families of all affected.
Thank you to the first responders who showed extraordinary courage and tireless commitment to the safety of Londoners – both in the immediate aftermath and to this day, ensuring this terrible tragedy never happens again.

I support @sohosocietyw1 on Meard Street. Shared access in listed homes is a real issue. Sad the case was lost on licensing grounds — but planning could still be a route. It’s happening again in another listed building. @timlord65 Please DM me.

Hey @SohoGeorge
Finally had a Bar Bruno breakfast! You were right about the toast! It was perfect just the right thickness! X
❌ Bilmonte, Great Windmill St – blocking pavements #Soho during heatwaves
✅ Hygiene rating: 3 (July 2023)
❌ No visible company on Companies House 🤷♀️
No accountability

Dangerous crowding outside #Bilmonte ice cream shop, Great Windmill St, Soho — queue blocks whole pavement, no marshal, people forced into road. This is happening everywhere — rife in Soho. 9pm tonight.

When you see Rod Stewart at 80, Ronnie Wood at 78, Lulu at 76, looking at us from behind a million cigarettes and gallons of whisky - guys who've lived a life and look absolutely great, it does make you wonder. All this health shit is seriously overrated
Despite coffee spilling all over my Soho Clarion and @WestminsterXtra
I am delighted to be on the air conditioned Elizabeth line escaping #Soho nonsense

That’s brilliant thank you for sharing it’s so important the public get to hear about this stuff.
@sohopolice used to tweet similar but account is recently deleted !
Can you enlighten us please? @metpoliceuk @MetCC
