Museums, Archives and Collections

You'll be amazed by what you can discover in Westminster’s museums, collections and archives. There are dozens to choose from, with something for everyone, and many are free. 

Did you know?

Soho was once a hunting cry, first recorded in the fifteenth Century "Sohoe, ye hare ys founde!”

Museum of Soho was started in 1990 by a group of amateurs keen to preserve any material relating to the history of Soho

Our main objectives are to:

• create a safe haven for any artefacts and documents

• ensure that these items are recorded professionally

• create a database and locations guide for the whole collection

• investigate digital media for future development of the museum

mosoho is now a virtual museum where you can explore the history places and communities of Soho through the fascinating collection of images and articles

Can you help? We always need volunteers, so if you have a skill or free time to give, e-mail us at  info@themuseumofsoho.org.uk
