Carlisle Street, set in the heart of Soho London, is a short but historically rich street with roots dating back to the 18th century. It is named after the Earls of Carlisle, a noble family who once held estates in the area. Over time, the street has grown from residential use into a spot favoured by creative industries and boutique businesses.
Today, Carlisle Street Soho is known for its calm contrast to the nearby bustle of Oxford Street and Tottenham Court Road, both within a five-minute walk. The street is also very close to major public transport links, with Tottenham Court Road Station offering access to the Central and Northern Lines, as well as the new Elizabeth Line.
The street has hosted a mix of cultural and artistic firms over the years, including post-production houses and design studios. One of its most well-known buildings is the Soho Screening Rooms, a discreet location popular with film professionals. Another long-standing presence is The Newman Arms, a traditional pub tucked just around the corner, drawing in both locals and curious visitors.
Although no major historic figure is known to have lived on Carlisle Street, its quiet charm and connection to the wider Soho creative scene have made it a consistent draw for professionals and small businesses alike.
