After the refurbishment a few years ago this place has moved on leaps and bounds and has really good productions such has mama-mia. I found mama-mia just hilarious and the venue lends its self very well to these kinds of productions with its central location right in the middle of Leister square is great for coming in on the tube. If you want I cheap ticket here I would really advise searching the internet for cheap advance tickets. I really enjoyed both the production and the venue and it was easy to get to from the venue and there is plenty of stuff to do before your show if you arrive early.After the refurbishment a few years ago this place has moved on leaps and bounds and has really good productions such has mama-mia.

A really excellent resource for writers in the capital, London. In a good location, near to tube and bus stops the writers centre for the Soho theatre is a space for writers to come and do what they do best â¬ write! The Soho theatre has made a real long term commitment to new writing and the Writersâ¬" Centre is the hub and manifestation of this promise. New writing produced at the centre can sometimes be seen going on to the main stage of the Soho, either for a limited run, or sometimes even for an extended performance run with top actors. A fantastic resource for Londoners.A really excellent resource for writers in the capital, London.

An extremely moving production - far superior to, for example, the recent live celebration concert from the Albert Hall, starring the uncomparably awful Colm Wilkinson â¬Üsingingâ¬" Jean Valjean. See this live at the Queenâ¬"s Theatre if you want the authentic experience of this ground breaking mega musical extravaganza, based on the novel by Franceâ¬"s national poet and novelist, the great Victor Hugo. The book and lyrics are superb, with fine translation and / or adaptation from the French by Herbert Kretzmer. The orchestra are on fine form, and well led by the conductor and musical director. The ensemble pieces are a dream and the soloists are excellent.An extremely moving production - far superior to, for example, the recent live celebration concert from the Albert Hall, starring the uncomparably awful Colm Wilkinson â¬Üsingingâ¬" Jean Valjean.

The Curzon Soho is one of the best cinemas in London for less mainstream, more arthouse and foreign films. In fact the whole Curzon chain â¬ there are cinemas in Mayfair, Chelsea, Richmond and more â¬ has a similarly good selection although the Soho cinema remains one of the best. The cafe is indeed excellent, serving delicious cakes and pastries, itâ¬"s well worth a visit if youâ¬"re in the area even if youâ¬"re not going to see a film, or if you are going to a film itâ¬"s worth arriving early so you can go there for something to eat before the film itself starts.The Curzon Soho is one of the best cinemas in London for less mainstream, more arthouse and foreign films.

A fun way to kill a couple of hours in London. All the usual arcades, air hockey, gaming, 10p machines etc. Also a bowling alley, sports bar and a bar offering lane service. Upstairs are dodgems, simulator rides, and video games. Great for kids, but it will cost a lot of money if they want to do it all, so worth restricting to a brief time period. I believe itâ¬"s over 18â¬"s only at night, but that may only be weekends. There is also a cineworld in the building, which is expensive being London. Overall though, itâ¬"s just an arcade, it may be famous but I wouldnâ¬"t say it makes it worth doing especially.A fun way to kill a couple of hours in London.
