The property benefits from flexible planning consents with permission for both office and residential use. There is a consented planning permission to add substantial roof terraces in a refurbishment plan which will achieve the highest possible green sustainability rating. This is a property to be proud of – either as the ultimate green home in central London, or as the head office of an organisation making a prominent demonstration of their commitment to real sustainability – increasingly important as mandatory legislation for CO2 emissions reporting and planned reductions come in.
The building dates back to 1677, when the development of Soho was in its initial stages, and was then extensively rebuilt in 1768 as an upmarket townhouse. Only the original basement and ground levels were retained, and the property was then built up to the third floor in elegant 18th century fashion, showcasing a magnificent staircase and an unusual, canted design to the back of the building. In the early 19th century, the ground floor front was lowered, and a bay window was added, creating a shop. The upper floors served as the residence of the shop owners, with only ground and basement levels used for commercial purposes. In recent years the building has been used as a postproduction studio, and today the property is Grade II* listed and set out as offices which are used for promoting green activities and sustainable small businesses.
The purchaser of 13 Soho Square can be proud of owning a listed property refurbished to exemplary environmental standards, allowing them to live or work in luxury in the centre of London without costing the earth.
The property currently has a Commercial EPC rating of C-72.

Today, vibrant Soho is perceived to be one of the West End's most desirable places to live for both domestic and international buyers. It has evolved into a a well-connected, cosmopolitan residential district. The area offers an unrivalled, diverse range of amenities, including some of London's most popular restaurants, bars, theatres, entertainment venues, colourful nightlife spots and private members' clubs such as Soho House and Dean Street Townhouse. It plays host to numerous boutiques and high-end retailers, is home to the world-famous Carnaby Street and Liberty Department Store and is just a short walk from the superb retail opportunities on offer on Oxford and Regent Street.
Soho is also a thriving commercial hub and continues to be an internationally renowned office location, attracting a host of creative and cosmopolitan businesses. These include 20th Century Fox, Tiger Aspect Films, M&C Saatchi and Twitter, all of which choose to have their headquarters in the area. As well as being popular with those working in the creative sectors of technology, media and advertising, Soho is becoming an increasingly popular location with more corporate and financial firms.
Soho benefits from excellent transport connectivity, with Tottenham Court Road, Oxford Circus and Piccadilly Circus underground stations all close by, providing access to the Piccadilly, Victoria, Bakerloo, Central and Northern lines. The Square is next to the recently-completed £300m redevelopment scheme at Tottenham Court Road station which includes the first new full sized theatre space in London for 50 years and where the newly-opened Elizabeth line can now also be accessed.
Soho Square itself is the largest green space in Soho and is a focal point in the north-eastern part of Soho. The square has retained many of its original historical features, including several grand, listed buildings, two beautiful nineteenth century churches, and is graced with a statue of Charles II from the time the square was laid out in 1677. Arguably this property, facing south on Soho Square, is in the premier location in the whole of Soho.
