¡Frida Icónica!
This summer, a spectacular Frida Kahlo installation has arrived on Carnaby Street in collaboration with Tate Modern's dedicated exhibition, transforming the street into a vibrant canvas with a colour display of public art.

Soho's Nightlife & Bars
With its world-famous club scene, late-night comedy, entertainment and wine bars – Soho is the perfect place to celebrate post-parade.
Celebrating love, the LGBTQ+ community has it's roots firmly expressed in Soho's GAY clubs and run of presence through Old Compton Street, coming alive after dark.
Soho's LGBTQ+ History
With an array of bars and shops at the heart of London's queer scene, Soho has long been the heart of championing individuality and pride for the LGBTQ+ community.
Soho's queer history originates back to secret clubs where the LGBTQ+ communities would meet despite the risk of persecution. Throughout the 1920's and 30's Soho was home to a thriving club scene with several gay-friendly venues lining the streets. Now centred around Old Compton Street with notable venues such as The Admiral Duncan and G-A-Y bar, Soho remains home to LGBTQ+ positivity.
