Welcome
Soho House was the home of the industrialist and entrepreneur Matthew Boulton from 1766-1809. Today, the house has been beautifully restored and reflects the fashions and tastes of the late Georgian period. There’s also the chance to see some of the products of Boulton’s nearby factory, from buttons and buckles to clocks and vases; where he developed the steam engine in partnership with James Watt.
Soho House was a favourite meeting place of the Lunar Society, a leading Enlightenment group. The Lunar Society would meet every month on the night of the full moon to dine, conduct experiments, and engage in a lively exchange of ideas which inspired many new discoveries and inventions.
