Soho House was the 18th century home of the industrialist and entrepreneur Matthew Boulton. It was partially developed in later years so it does have a lift. We want to make it as accessible as possible but it does have some of the access issues of historic buildings.

Please tell us if there is anything we can do to improve the accessibility of Soho House, and the information that we provide.
