About the area
Soho is London's most energetic district, bringing together Piccadilly Circus, Chinatown and Carnaby Street. Neon signs and colourful street decorations make it ideal for night shoots and fast-paced TikTok edits. Shopping and cafés by day and nightlife after dark mean you can capture completely different moods depending on the time. It gets very crowded, so keep your kit compact.
Area character
- The giant screens and neon of Piccadilly Circus
- Colourful decorations in Chinatown and on Carnaby Street
- Perfect for night shoots and night vlogs
- Very heavy foot traffic, so tripods are impractical
