Hospitality businesses and landlords have called for the temporary pedestrianisation of Soho

Soho Summer Street Festival aims to support Soho bars and restaurants banning cars, so businesses can spread outdoors.

Stephen Fry, Damien Hirst and other hospitality businesses and landlords have called for the temporary pedestrianisation of Soho.

This new campaign, the Soho Summer Street Festival, is hoping to temporarily pedestrianise and resurrect one of the country’s busiest restaurant hubs.

The Festival would ban cars from entering key streets in the neighbourhood and would request relaxed licensing measures so businesses could set tables and chairs outside to serve food and drink.
