🎉 The 50th Soho Village Fête is today — 1970s theme 🕺🪩 and proper community spirit. It’s bringing together residents from #Soho, #CoventGarden, #Bloomsbury, #Fitzrovia, #Camden & #Holborn 🏘️ We’re also here to support @SohoSociety, who lost £27k trying to stop something that should never have happened. A distillery was approved in a beautiful Georgian building — one that never even had planning permission to be a gym, nor a distillery 😱 The Planning Inspector ruled the use was unlawful, noting it had a shared residential staircase and garden. @SohoSociety weren’t just defending planning policy — they were standing up for residents and their homes. And maybe — just maybe — the people in that house will get their home and garden back. If you care about living in Soho: 👉 support the fête 👉 join the Society 👉 stand up for the people behind the front doors 📸 Come down, dress up, and show your support! @CityWestminster @leader_wcc @gbarraclough @rbush @tarekshalaby @WestminsterXtra @tomfoot1 @CllrPLilley @VoteTimBarnes @PaulEFishr #DebbieJackson @SohoGeorge #SohoFête #ProtectSoho #PlanningMatters #Listed #Heritage #Georgian #Soho #CoventGarden #Bloomsbury #Fitzrovia #Camden #Holborn #ChangeOfUse #ClassC3 #ClassD2 #ClassE #SuiGeneris #MaterialChangeOfUse #UseClasses #PlanningEnforcement #ListedBuildingConsent #ProtectHomes

@sohoite No thanks-this account X is far more interesting 😂😵‍💫

instagram.com/reel/C99Q7IeNg… #Square #SquareGeorge Never saw you as Square George 😂 X @SohoGeorge @SquareGeorge #BeYourself 🥂 #LivedExperience #Soho

@SohoGeorge Should you wish to start behaving yourself George The Twitter tag @SquareGeorge Appears to be available X 🤣

@sohoite Square who said so 😂😂😂

youtu.be/78Bm_D8D0Zw?fe… I remember you saying you didn’t really want to drink anymore as you got older — you didn’t want to miss anything. I get that. I love a G&T myself (must have ice). Over the years, I always hoped Elizabeth had been secretly saving all the child benefit she got for me — to buy me a car (don’t drive) or a holiday or something. She said: “Don’t be silly — that’s my gin money.” #MothersRuin #Gordons #ItsGotToBeGordons

@sohoite Ah, Gordon's once a big fave of mine, no more tee total these days or what I've got left. Maybe restart, not much to lose now at 82🍾🍷🍸🍹🍺🍻🥂🥃no, I'll stick with this ☕️😉🫠

17 years ago. Just a normal evening with friends — talking nonsense, talking sense. Laughing, overthinking, surviving. Apparently that’s middle class? Still talk like this now. Hilarious. And kind of poignant. 🎥 youtu.be/xPTiDNzUSik #SohoHousing #SohoLife #RealConversation

@SohoGeorge Hilarious isn’t it, It reminded me of an evening at my family home in Long Acre but far more non-PC & bottle of Gordons on the table.

@sohoite 💥💥👍

@SohoGeorge @sohosocietyw1 Lovely vibe today at the 50th anniversary of the #sohofete #Community 🤗 #SweetCaroline @sohosocietyw1 @SohoGeorge

50th anniversary of the Soho Fete today @sohosocietyw1 @TheMuseumOfSoh #theFrenchpub

@SohoGeorge @carolatte44 @sohosocietyw1 You love it! Don’t lie

@carolatte44 @sohosocietyw1 It was, and in constant demand (pics), but left a bit early-- nakered 😱😉x

@SohoGeorge Hi @sohogeorge My Godmama lives nearby and says that GP is brilliant. Shame I’m not in the catchment area 😅 Sorry we didn’t get to chat properly at the Soho Fête - I think you were too busy signing autographs 🤣

@SohoGeorge Aw!

@LFBWestminster Congrats, as always! And very noble of you not to show the police huffing and puffing this time. We all remember that footage…

A24 LFB beat the local Met in the annual tug-of-war, as per. #sohosociety#lfbwestminster

Totally agree re: the bike rack — but I’m actually more worried about the constant queues outside your ice cream shop. Have you managed to get them to install any belt barriers yet? Just something to stop people blocking the pavement. Also, the legacy IT system at Westminster is a mess. #ReportIT is clunky, buggy, and now when you report something, it just vanishes into the abyss. No text, no email, nothing. A City Inspector told me yesterday: “Oh yeah, they stopped that.” I’ve worked in software product development for years — this is legacy garbage. @CllrPLilley @PaulEFishr @leader_wcc

Broken cycle rack on Brewer Street #soho Saw it this morning and went to report to @CityWestminster and very disappointed to see it reported previously by someone else and nothing done about it. Come on, guys. You should be better than this!
