Soho Square

Soho Square is a square located in the district of the same name. In its central part there is a small park connected to the garden. You can see a historic gardener's hut built on the basis of a half-timbered wall and a Catholic church. St. Patrick's Day. The catacombs of the temple run all over the square and partly also outside. In the summer season, concerts and other cultural events are organized here.

Soho Square was founded in the 1770s and was initially called King's Squre, in honor of King Charles II. At that time there was a monument to the ruler by the Danish sculptor Caius Gabriel Cibber. In the nineteenth century, it was removed because of the damage done to it, but it was restored in 1938.

The square appears, among others in the novel by Charles Dickens "A Tale of Two Cities." Soho Square also housed the London residence of the title hero of the novel "Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell" by Susanna Clarke.
