London Design Festival welcomes Soho as a new district for 2026, celebrating one of the capital's most creative and culturally significant neighbourhoods with a curated programme of events, installations, talks and collaborations from 12–20 September headquartered on Great Chapel Street.
The Soho District debuts at the 24th London Design Festival, a fitting addition for one of the capital's most creatively charged and culturally significant neighbourhoods. Long celebrated for its eclectic character, dynamic design scene and cultural influence, Soho will host a curated programme of events, installations, talks and collaborations exploring design, commerce and community. The district's visual identity draws on Soho's red-light history, neon signage and rebellious counterculture, reflecting the boldness of the music and creative industries that have defined the area for a century. Running 12–20 September 2026, the Soho District will bring together leading architects, F&B specialists, PR and branding agencies, property investors and developers, property managers, construction and fit-out experts, and a wider network of creatives shaping London's future. The programme opens with a chance for guests to network and soak up the district's energy ahead of a full week of events, underscoring Soho's enduring reputation as a place where creativity, collaboration and innovation have always thrived.
