Soho Al Fresco: A Wonderful Summer

In June, Westminster City Council agreed to proposals made by the Soho Society, to pedestrianise Soho, allowing restaurants and bars to put their tables and chairs outside. And so, luckily for us, Soho Al Fresco was born.

We’ve had a lovely summer with you all, sitting out in the sunshine, sipping on cocktails and watching the best of Soho go by in the fresh evening breeze. Not only have we really enjoyed ourselves, but the scheme has been an unbelievable helpful for small businesses in Soho, trying to survive after the Coronavirus outbreak, and we would love for it to continue. As it stands, the Soho Summer Festival is set to end on the 30th of September.

If you enjoyed being part of the Soho Al Fresco scheme with us this summer, then we would really appreciate it if you might take a minute or two to fill out this quick survey about it. The survey may be able to influence future decisions the council will take on whether or not they will extend or repeat this scheme. So why not have your say in the future of Soho and all the small businesses who make it so special?
