21 Soho: Pub in London

21 Soho sits in W1D and works as a room for evenings that don't fit one box. The programme leans into talks, live performance and comedy, with folklore and literature running through a lot of it. Expect work that asks questions about myth, the body and old stories, alongside looser, funnier nights. The crowd tends to be curious rather than dressed up. People come to hear something new and stay on to talk about it afterwards. Art is the anchor here, so the shows often take a clear point of view. Performers tend to want the audience close, and the room rewards people who lean in. If you like being surprised, this is a good place to keep an eye on.
