Key features and description
In the heart of London's most creative neighbourhood, The Pathé Building is the iconic former home of one of the world's pioneering moving picture companies. Behind the elegant façade of this distinctive Soho building lies a compelling story. It was here in 1902 that French film pioneers The Pathé Brothers made their original base in London. From The Pathé Building came production innovations that drove the rise of the film and media industry in London, a scene still synonymous with Soho today. A building of character, history and architectural elegance, with creative breakthroughs and innovation at its heart. With interiors that are a warm, inviting combination of natural textures and contemporary detailing, this duplex apartment has been interior designed to reflect both the vibrancy of the local area, and the quality of the finishes. These finishes include full height doors, double glazed bronze framed windows and fumed white oak flooring. A bespoke kitchen includes natural stone countertops, smoked glass splash-backs and Miele appliances. Soho is London's original creative neighbourhood, and it's most diverse too. From the 1700s onwards, waves of immigration saw it welcome London's first French, Italian and Chinese communities. Today, it's still home to a thriving Chinatown, London's oldest French patisserie, Maison Bertaux, which opened in 1871, and Bar Italia, the first espresso bar in London. During the "50s and 60s', Soho was the beating heart of London's music scene - Bowie, The Stones, The Who, Hendrix and Pink Floyd were all regulars at The Marquee Club, whilst around the corner at Ronnie Scotts, Miles Davies and Ella Fitzgerald were part of London's burgeoning Jazz scene. The modern day Soho is no less exciting and eclectic, and now fashion brands sit alongside restaurants, bars, and private members clubs, including Quo Vadis and the original outpost of Nick Jones's Soho House can be found on Greek Street.
