Spice of Life
The Spice of Life is an institution and has been part of the McMullen family of pubs since 1986, and a boutique hotel since 2025.
Nestled in the buzzing heart of Soho, the Spice of Life isn’t just a pub, it’s your gateway to London’s liveliest playground. Whether you’re here for a pint, a plate, or the pulse of live music, we’re all about celebrating the rhythm of the city. From late-night laughter to laid-back mornings, this is where the old-school charm of a classic pub meets Soho’s untamed spirit. Come for the good vibes, stay for the unforgettable moments, because in the heart of Soho, variety truly is the Spice of Life.
Being located in central Soho, the wonderful hustle and bustle can sometimes be heard from some of our bedrooms. However, we have taken several measures to minimize any disturbance, including installing secondary glazing, thick pile carpets, and heavy-duty doors to enhance sound insulation.
The team look forward to seeing you soon.
