Why Borough?
The newly developed Borough Yards blends modern architecture with the area’s industrial heritage and is home to fashionable boutiques, art galleries, and some fantastic new restaurants, coffee shops, pop-ups plus a brand new Everyman cinema. It’s become a bit of a creative hub, perfect for catching an exhibition, enjoying a glass of wine, or simply people-watching in the lively open spaces.
A Mix of History & Modernity
The looming presence of the iconic Shard is a constant reminder of the area’s modernity, in contrast to many hidden cobbled alleys and quiet back-streets lined with traditional pubs and independent shops. Whether wandering by the Thames or browsing the markets, Borough’s relaxed vibe encourages you to slow down and soak in its character. It’s a neighbourhood where history meets modern London living, with a strong sense of community.

Modern Soho is a paradise for creatives, culture vultures, foodies and night owls.
Carnaby
An enclave of only 14 streets in the north west corner of Soho, yet Carnaby is very much a neighbourhood in its own right. Carnaby Street is world renowned as the epicentre of Swinging London in the 1960’s, and has continued its association with fashion and youth culture to this day.
