About Soho
Soho is a unique area straddling the Birmingham and Sandwell metropolitan boroughs in the West Midlands, situated along the A41 road. The name has historical roots dating back to a cottage depicted on a 1777 map of Staffordshire, though its true origin remains unclear and is not linked to the more famous Soho in London. A notable feature of the area is Soho Road, which runs between Handsworth and Winson Green, making it a significant thoroughfare for local planning considerations. The settlement has a population of approximately 30,317. It sits within the Birmingham district.
