Where: London W1

What: Nestled amongst London's swanky shopping districts, with Oxford Street to the north , Piccadilly Circus to the south, Regent Street to the east and Covent Garden to the west, Soho is the grungy but newly hip neighborhood where trendy young londoners head for a late night.

Eateries and clubs are numerous, and, in good weather, the restaurants take over the footpaths for al fresco dining, adding to the party atmosphere.

Nearest underground stations: Leicester Square, Piccadilly Circus or Tottenham Court Road
