The death of old Soho: How cultural hotspot is battling 'becoming just another Shoreditch'

The Soho district in London, which had once brimming with bars and late-night music venues, is on the verge of becoming 'just another Shoreditch,' as it fights a burgeoning tide of Nimbyism from a'small minority' of wealthy citizens. Few would celebrate the return of the 1960s underworld and the reign of the legendary Kray Twins (who ruled The Hide-A-Way club on Gerrard Street) - but for the majority of locals, there is an undeniable yearning for the yesteryear's charm. It comes as yet another historic venue, Trisha's, has been forced to shut down this week after a millionaire neighbor's screams over noise and alleged 'drug use'. George Hudson, who runs and lives above Soho's Piano Bar, has expressed fear that the neighborhood will be 'another Shoreditch.' According to him, there is a "significant minority" of people who are refusing to open new night time venues, particularly those who moved in during Covid.
