Soho Square is a small but beautiful square in London's Soho, with a park and garden area at its centre that dates back to 1681. At the centre of the garden, there is a distinctive half-timbered gardener's hut. During the summer, it hosts open-air free concerts. The garden also contains a memorial bench that commemorates the late Kirsty MacColl, who wrote a song about the area that was featured on her album Titanic Days.
