1) The French House

It has been a Soho staple for over a century and you can really feel it. No phone calls are allowed and it's always packed – perfect at 2pm for a half in the afternoon sun.

2) Andrew Edmunds

It’s an institution which serves great food, with an equally strong wine list. We'd suggest requesting a table upstairs for lunch, it’s a great spot for people watching through the window.

3) Oliver Spencer

Independent clothing brand Oliver Spencer has a shop on Berwick Street in Soho. It’s a UK-based, sustainable menswear brand with a focus on high-quality fabrics with wearable pieces. The collections have something for every occasion using nice materials to create classic styles.

4) Koya Noodle Bar

This spot is perfect for any time of day, but our favourite time to go is at breakfast. We get the Kitsune with an egg, and ginger tea. It sets you up for the day fully, and if you happen to be struggling with a hangover, it cures all sins.

5) Paradise Soho

We love Dom Fernando’s contemporary Sri Lankan restaurant utilising British seasonal ingredients. Here, chefs serve flavourful food in a great, buzzy space – it's always a good meal.
