Bounded by internationally renowned thoroughfares including Oxford Street and Regent Street, it is an integral part of the West End’s unique character. Soho has evolved to become the cultural centre of the West End. Its association with London’s fashion and entertainment culture has led to the area becoming a hub of creative and media based industries. Key Soho occupiers include: Sony, 20th Century Fox Film Company & M&C Saatchi to name but a few. In recent years Soho has benefited from substantial investment and redevelopment, including Crossrail, which is due for completion in 2018. It has been the catalyst for the regeneration of the area, particularly East Soho. The future is extremely positive, with the larger office schemes likely to encourage a more diverse occupier market in the area, creating a synergy of creative and financial industries. The presence of financial and tech based occupiers is currently being established as exemplified by the lettings to Exponent Private Equity, Jagex Gaming and BCG Digital at Great Portland Estates’ 30 Broadwick Street office development. COMMUNICATIONS Soho’s communication network provides unrivalled access with a number of Underground stations within close proximity, including: Tottenham Court Road, Oxford Circus and Piccadilly Circus. CROSSRAIL / THE ELIZABETH LINE Crossrail, which is due for completion in 2018, is set to substantially enhance London’s transport network. The Crossrail route will run over 100km across west London through to east London. In total, there are to be 40 Crossrail stations - with Tottenham Court Road station estimated to have over 100,000 passengers daily using the station (www.crossrail.co.uk). Both the new ticket hall and station entrance are within close proximity to the Soho Portfolio of properties.

Cholera in New York, albeit 1832, was also the subject of an exhibition at the New York Historical Society. In a review, John Noble Wilford (2008) wrote that “a turning point in prevention came in 1854, when a London physi- cian, Dr. John Snow, established the connection between contaminated water and cholera.
