Broadwick Soho
Fabulously flamboyant townhouse
The vibrant heart of Soho
Around the corner from still-swinging Carnaby Street, the Broadwick Soho was created by a group of friends – and luckily for them, their circle includes design whizz Martin Brudnizki. Aside from the immaculate interiors, there's a rooftop bar, an intimate Italian restaurant, and an all-day pizzeria with a coffee counter. Oasis fans will enjoy recreating the cover of (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, shot on adjacent Berwick Street, aka Vinyl Mile (and home to a market, said to be where Londoners first shopped for formerly exotic tomatoes and pineapples).

Our Favourite Rooms
Ensuring you’ll get a good night’s sleep in every room are Frette linens and cosy throws handwoven in the Isle of Bute. For more space and your own balcony, book a Balcony Suite – or skip the many Soho spots below and stick with your own antique-brass elephant-shaped cocktail bar in one of the suites.
Packing Tips
Leave plenty of suitcase space for your Soho shopping haul – Liberty London is around the corner, as are boutiques by fashion faves Rag & Bone and JW Anderson.
Also
The guest lounge on the ground floor has a fireplace for reading beside, vinyl to spin and a Murano chandelier from the Seventies to admire. It’s open from 7.30am until 1am (Soho favours the night owl).
Children
All ages are welcome at the Broadwick Soho and accoutrements such as changing mats, nappy bins and highchairs can be added to your room on request; rollaway beds can be added to suites. Babysitting can also be arranged.

Book out the private dining room, find a nook in the, er, Nook or head up to the roof for sundowners and skylines.
Dress Code
Stylish Soho threads (beyond Ben Sherman).
Hotel Restaurant
Dear Jackie is a stylish Italian, with Murano lights, red silk walls, snug booths, perfect for date-night dinners. At street level, Bar Jackie serves breakfasts and bomboloni, and there’s a terrace for alfresco pizzas come lunchtime. Food is also served at rooftop bar Flute, named for the 19th-century woodwind-instrument maker once based on Broadwick Street.
Hotel Bar
Bar Jackie has an espresso counter for guests to stand and pretend to be Italian at. Up at maximalist Flute on the roof, the decor (onyx counters, animal prints, cork walls, mirrored ceilings) does its best to compete with the 180-degree views of London.
Last Orders
Dear Jackie opens from 5pm to midnight (1am on Friday and Saturday). Breakfast is served at Bar Jackie from 7.30am to 11am; an all-day menu runs until midnight (1am on Friday and Saturday). Flute’s hours are noon to 12.30am (1.30am Thursday to Saturday).
Room Service
Available 24 hours a day.
Planes
All of the capital’s airports are within easy enough reach – City and old-favourite Heathrow are closest. Transfers can be arranged on request, or you can hop in a black cab or app-summoned taxi.
Trains
The nearest Tube stop is Tottenham Court Road, which is on the swift Central line, as well as the Elizabeth line for hooking up with Heathrow and the Home Counties. Other nearby Tube stations include Oxford Circus, Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square.
Automobiles
The clue’s in the postcode (W1): with a setting this central, wheels will be redundant (and a nuisance).
Worth Getting Out of Bed For
Once-gritty Soho is now a neighbourhood of gleaming storefronts, much-hyped hangouts and far more salubrious streets – and the newly paved-with-gold roads are home to cute boutiques: cult apothecaries (Le Labo and Aesop), cult fashion labels (Ba&sh, Axel Arigato) and cycling-nut shops (Rapha). It’s an excellent choice for visitors hoping to enjoy London’s nightlife without the taxi home, with pubs spilling out onto the streets, raved-about restaurants and craft cocktail bars on every corner. Equally attractive neighbourhoods await in every direction, whether Fitzrovia to the north, Marylebone to the north-west or Mayfair to the west. For street-food eats, go hungry to Berwick Street Market and follow the queues.
