• De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms (0.6 miles away).

Sometimes it’s all about the journey, which makes your car choice important. If you’re about to embark on an amazing road trip around Soho, a roomy SUV could be your perfect match.

All you have to do is decide what’ll suit you best, throw your bags in the back seat, and start clocking up those miles.
