Soho house is definitely worth a visit - it had a soothing affect on all of us and we enjoyed finding out about Matthew Bolton and the Lunar Society More

This attraction is definitely worth spending a couple of hours at. You can learn about Matthew Boulton, the industrialist, as well as his various enterprises and interests. Truly fascinating.
