Soho, Sorted: Inside GPE’s hidden West End gem

FEATURES / 10 MARCH 2026

If Soho’s on your list, consider it sorted. Tucked just off Carnaby Street, 16 Dufour’s Place sits quietly in the middle of one of London’s most culturally charged quarters. For teams who want proximity to the buzz, without sacrificing polish, this is certainly an address worth knowing.

A Ground Floor With Presence

First impressions are always important, and here GPE gets it right. Step inside and the ground floor unfolds as the building’s social spine: a lounge-led, open-plan setting layered with breakout areas, a meeting room and a phone booth - amenities designed to feel integrated rather than incidental. The layout flexes with ease - composed and productive during the day, naturally event-ready when required.

Courtyard Calm

Beyond the interiors, Dufour’s Place opens onto a rare Soho luxury: an expansive courtyard at ground level and a communal terrace on the fourth - together extending the building beyond its walls, offering space to step outside, host, or reset between meetings.

The Third Floor

Set across seven storeys, Dufour’s Place presents a thoughtfully curated collection of self-contained floors, offering both breadth and flexibility. Four distinct suites accommodate teams of 20 to 56 desks, with floor plates ranging from 1,595 to 3,143 sq ft - each designed to adapt seamlessly to evolving business needs.

Yet it is the third floor that quietly commands attention. Spanning just over 3,000 sq ft, it achieves a refined balance between generosity and efficiency, comfortably arranged for 40 desks with the versatility to scale to 56 as teams expand.

Stepping out of the lift, a slatted timber screen gently defines the entrance - a subtle architectural gesture that establishes a sense of arrival. Beyond it, the floor opens into a calm, open-plan workspace. Desks run through the centre, while natural light moves freely across the room, reinforcing the sense of clarity and flow.

Wrapped around the perimeter, two meeting rooms, a spacious private office and two phone booths offer the flexibility for an array of working styles, from heads-down focus to collaborative sessions.

Meanwhile, the kitchen zone doubles as a design-led social hub - a natural meeting point for coffee refuels, informal catch-ups and moments away from the desk. At its centre sits a communal table, paired with bench seating and warm timber detailing, giving the space a relaxed, contemporary edge.

Community, Curated

Community is woven through the building, brought to life by GPE’s on-site Customer Experience Team and a carefully curated programme of events. From 'Bagel Tuesdays' to the now-signature 'Pastry Thursdays', there’s a steady rhythm that shapes the working week.

Soho, On Your Doorstep

Location is the undeniable advantage. Moments from Carnaby Street and within easy reach of Soho Square, Dufour’s Place sits squarely within Soho’s creative ecosystem, surrounded by a standout dining scene and the area’s enduring after-hours appeal.

From its dynamic ground-floor hub and adaptable self-contained floors to its vibrant community and unbeatable location, 16 Dufour’s Place is a workspace that makes a statement. For teams after more than just desks, it’s the perfect blend of style, versatility, and culture, all in one of London’s trendiest postcodes.
